FICXPlus - VOS 2026 - A FRAGILE AND WONDERFUL WORLD

Synopsis

Nino and Yasmina were born on the same day, in the midst of a tragedy that shook Beirut and left an indelible scar on their destinies. Throughout three decades marked by passion, heartbreak, and hope, their paths cross again and again, trapped in a magnetic relationship that defies time and the wounds of the past. He dreams of putting down roots, while she only thinks of running away. In a country that breaks their hearts a little more each day, they must face an impossible choice: bet on love and start a family, or surrender to the need to survive?
