Paris-based mk2 films have boarded sales on Lebanese director Mounia Akl\u2019s dark comedy COSTA BRAVA LEBANON<\/a> about a family whose seemingly idyllic lifestyle in the mountains is threatened by the construction of a landfill site on their doorstep.<\/p>\n

The production has recently signed Lebanese filmmaker and actress Nadine Labaki (Capernaum<\/em>,\u00a0Where Do We Go From Here?<\/em>)\u00a0to co-star opposite Palestinian actor Saleh Bakri, who is best known internationally for his performances in\u00a0The Band\u2019s Visit\u00a0and\u00a0Wajib.<\/p>\n

The pair play a couple who remove their family from the toxic pollution and rubbish-strewn streets of their home city of Beirut and attempt to build a utopian existence in a pristine home in the mountains.<\/p>\n

This dream life is shattered when a landfill is built right outside its fence, bringing the garbage and corruption they hoped to leave behind to its door. As the trash rises, so do the tensions in their perfect home.<\/p>\n

COSTA BRAVA LEBANON<\/a> is the debut feature of Akl, a Screen Arab Star of Tomorrow in 2016, who originally broke out internationally with her short film Submarine<\/em> in 2015 and then picked up credits on the Jude Law-produced series Do Not Disturb<\/em>.<\/p>\n
