Hanging on by a Thread

Noemie is 18 years old when she falls ill. A brilliant and funny art student, she burns the candle at both ends, with joy and anticipation … until her body throws everything back in her face. A fight ensues between her and her cancer - set against the backdrop of Beirut, its madness, its multiculturalism, and its inimitable character. A unique, autobiographical project and vivid portrait of Lebanese youth.
