Synopsis:

Dream of another summer tells the story of the encounter between a woman and a city, Beirut, in order to understand how the spaces we inhabit relate to us, and reflect on building's destruction and preservation when being spaces of collective memory. This film is a portrait of Beirut, but also a cinematographic quest on the relationship of cities with life, progress and destruction. A reflection on the survival of a city over time.
