Director says ‘Rebirth’ made in real 33-day war scenes

Iranian director Abbas Rafei says his 2007 movie ‘Rebirth’ is the “only movie made in the real scenes during the 33-day war in Lebanon”.

Co-written by Rafei and Hadi Moqaddam-Doust, the movie is about Zoheir, a young sailor working on a cargo ship heading to South Africa, who finds out that his pregnant wife is missing during the war in Lebanon.

He travels back to his homeland using different ships and boats. However, after the bombings, in order to save the newly born babies, his wife and a nurse have taken them out of the region in an ambulance.

Now these two are searching to find each other in a war-ridden area; a search leading to the rebirth of love through the ashes and the dust...

Darine Hamze, Talal Jurdi, Maxim Khalil, Paul Sleiman, and Ali Tahan are on the cast list of the movie.
