Martyr (2017 film)

[7] It features a large ensemble cast led by Carol Abboud, Hamza Mekdad, and Moustafa Fahs.

[8][9][10] The storyline is built around the feelings of Hassane, a young man who cannot afford to live on his own, due to financial problems (he often loses his job).

The film shows the difficult situation of this young man, who feels trapped between a strict and troubled family bond and the hopeless environment of Beirut.

The scene involving Hassane and his best friend Mahmad performing a dance on a stage, which seems to be from the spiritual perspective, has a strong homoerotic element.
