Great story, bad production!

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2018)

This is a fine story of love, war, and unfortunate circumstances with great potential to be a great movie. Although the story is the story of the civil war in Lebanon ( yet the country not ever mentioned) the film is filmed in Jordan with Jordanian actors and locations.. wich is for me (an arab) was very irritating for the notion I was given that this is a story of some war that took place in Jordan (which is something that never happened).. at first I thought it's about the (Black September) then I was just confused and started searching.
Lebanon is much more developed when it comes to movies and cinema which puzzled me and I kept asking myself as to why did the producers chose Jordan not the country of the story and the country with more sophisticated film industry.
I believe reading the novel should've been my go-to choice not the movie.
