Listen to his story:
Once upon a concert, he met the love of his life. Then, Beirut killed him!
Five years after the concert he met her at, he's in Montréal, thinking out loud, trying to figure out what went wrong.
In his reminiscence, he gives us a tour of Lebanese society, of the corruption of youth, of cosmopolitanism and the consequences of being a third culture kid, and of the pressures of the Lebanese family. He shows us the relational indiscretions of post-war society and compares coupling today with the interactions before the disintegration of the unified Beirut.
In trying to understand why he lost the greatest woman he ever met, he finds answers through relationships, events, and family in Lebanon.
