Synopsis

A crane driver quits his job, and no-one wants to take the job on. Then, Mohammad volunteers to operate Lebanon’s most dangerous cranes, risking his life for his secret passion. The director beautifully channels Mohammad’s desperation into this dazzling fantasy, showing that there’s no religion, gender, or occupation that can force anyone to give up their desires. (LEE Dongyun)
