Costa Brava, Lebanon , is a poignant tale of environmental struggle and family bonds. The film follows the Badri family: Souraya (Nadine Labaki), Walid (Saleh Bakri), their two children, and one of their parents, who are navigating the challenging circumstances forced upon them. Just as the family is seeking respite from the pollution, disorder, and unrest in Beirut to relocate to their dream home in the pristine Lebanese mountains, the government decides to use the area adjacent to their home as a landfill. Eventually, the domestic supply of water turns into a turbid red, fumes are everywhere, and dust covers up the beautiful view of nature that they previously enjoyed. As the garbage keeps coming in, their idyllic life is under threat, family bonds are under pressure, and it eventually paves the way for escalating tensions. The family begins to consider whether to give up to return to the bustle of the city or sacrifice for their ideal and stand stiffly in the face of corruption and environmental degradation.
