SYNOPSIS
Rabih, a blind musician, travels across rural Lebanon in search of a record of his own birth.
He meets people on the far fringes of society who tell their own stories and open further questions about his origins.
Descending into a void at the heart of his existence, Rabih encounters a nation incapable of telling his or its own narrative.
Tramontane premiered at the Cannes Film Festival Critics’ Week in 2016.
