Dunia by Jocelyne Saab

Nadi lekol Nas and the friends of Jocelyne Saab would like to invite you to the screening of 'Dunia', in a tribute from Beirut to Jocelyne Saab.

A student of Sufi poetry and belly dance in Cairo, Dunia is looking for herself and wishes to become a professional dancer. During a casting for a dance contest, she meets the illustrious and charming Dr Bechir, a Sufi thinker and writer. With him, Dunia will discover not only the pleasure of words through Sufi poetry but also the pleasure of the senses. However, she will have to confront tradition, which destroyed her capacity to feel pleasure, in order to free her body and dance with her soul.
