Summary
Georges, a politically committed stage director, has given up activism. But when Samuel, his best friend suffering from an incurable disease, urges him to pursue his crazy idea of staging Anouilh’s Antigone to steal two hours of peace from the Lebanese war, Georges cannot refuse. In Beirut, George will rapidly discover the tense atmosphere and all the war conflicts between ethnic groups in the country. The play seems to be a glimmer of hope, even if the cloud of a raging war is upon them. How will the man who has only ever known revolt face the reality of the conflict? Will he be able to escape unscathed?

Viewers find 'The 4th Wall' a powerful yet challenging portrayal of war-torn Beirut through the lens of a theatrical production. The film is praised for its strong performances, particularly by Laurent Lafitte and Simon Abkarian, and its immersive depiction of the conflict. However, some find the plot, especially the love story, somewhat naive and the pacing slow, which might detract from the overall impact for some audiences.
