Synopsis
Karim Kassem’s ‘Thiird’ is set in a village outside of Beirut. A quiet mechanic runs a garage with a detached soothing presence amidst the township that receives many visitors who are invited to take a seat and have a drink while they wait for their vehicles to be repaired. The place becomes a safe space for people to express their burdens and despair who need to be repaired themselves.Details of Cast
