Old wounds begin to bleed again

Tony (Adel Karam) and Yasser (Camel El Basha) begin to cry over a blur that quickly becomes a trial and a national media circus.

It's a hot day in Beirut where Yasser Salameh and Tony Hanna find themselves in trouble. Yasser's recordable construction base wants to make a simple pipeline but the nasty auto mechanic Tony looses the mood and loses the pounding. The epidemic is difficult to understand and becomes even more noticeable when Tony asks for an apology. Yasser, a refugee from Palestine, is afraid of losing his job and reluctantly accepts submission. But not enough yet. When the men meet again, Tony explodes with anger and says that he wants Sharon to destroy you all. Yasser responds with a well-known joke that breaks Tony's two ribs

The sound begins a process that soon turns into a media circus

Writer and director Ziad Doueiri returned to Lebanon after a turn in Hollywood (with the Oscar nomination) therefore) and uses conflict to tell a broader story about the infected history of the region.

The old wounds begin to bleed again when Christian Lebanese are made available to the Palestinians, the audience in the court shouting at Zionism. Soon, Tony and Yasser are just plateaus for political and religious purposes. Their little bulls are almost in danger of triggering a real war.

The trial is close together and explores the borderline between freedom of expression and hatred. Difficult issues that are further complicated when it is revealed that the prosecutor and the defense lawyer are father and daughter. A catch that could have been a huge magpie. The "insult" is pretty close to drama and personal tragedies without a reverend family. But thanks to the good actors, it works. We get to know the father and daughter outside the audience room, making the case less black and white and the result less predictable. The insult examines how much prejudice is intimately related to history, blood flow and ideology, and the difficulty of seeing some legal winners
