FURIES
During Lebanon’s real-life corruption-fueled economic collapse, all the banks freeze accounts overnight, trapping millions of people’s life savings. Maro, a determined single mother, tries to access her own money to pay for her wild-hearted younger sister Dalia’s life-saving surgery. When the bank refuses, the sisters scheme an elaborate all-night heist to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. As they recruit an ex-militia member and truck driver into their plan, it triggers a chain of events that quickly spirals out of control in a city already on the brink.
