Michel Kammoun

Beirut Hold’em depicts the life of Ziko, a 40-year old ex-con and petty gambler, and his three boyhood friends, in a seedy, lower-middle class district of Beirut. They’re fighting their way into a country on the edge of war and bankruptcy, where instability makes everyday life feel like Russian roulette, and sheer existence is yet another form of gambling.

Everything bad that can happen on the way to a party happens to young Tou on this nighttime trip though Beirut.

This black humor pan-Arabic anthology series is about love in general – and relationships in particular.
