- Synopsis
- In the politically charged atmosphere of Beirut, a fiercely independent young woman, Rana (20), infiltrates the male-dominated world of “Pigeon Wars”, where rival trainers compete to capture each other's prized birds in the sky. Determined to avenge her past by winning the elusive Nicobar pigeon and defeating the reigning "Pigeon King", Rana forms an unlikely bond with Hassan (20), a gentle, duty-bound young man with dreams of his own. As they navigate the rooftops of a divided city and learn from each other's strengths and vulnerabilities, the two ultimately transform each other's lives in profound and unexpected ways.
