The film Bosta (Bus in Arabic), by popular French Lebanese filmmaker Philippe Aractingi, tells the story of seven former schoolmates who meet up again after 15 years, to drive across Lebanese regions in a rundown school bus, which they repaint and renew as a wound they are healing.

The group is trying to introduce a new blend of music in their native villages, a mix of the traditional dance, the Dabkeh, coupled with a techno beat; a mix that embodies this generation that grew up too fast. This group of friends tries to bring a modern twist to the past in a world that has lost all bearings.

The bus thus takes its passengers across Lebanon on an emotionally bumpy journey of self-discovery and re-acquaintance with the multiple identities of their country.

La Vallée:
Sur une route de montagne au Liban, un homme se relève d'un accident de voiture. Choqué et en sang, il erre jusqu'à un véhicule en panne et aide ses quatre occupants à le réparer.

Devenu amnesique, le groupe prend soin de lui et l'emmène dans une ferme barricadée de la vallée de la Bekaa, où l'activité n'est pas uniquement agricole.

Qui est cet homme sans passé? Un espion, un mécanicien, un docteur, une menace? Entre suspicion et attirance, ils essaieront de lui faire retrouver la mémoire.

La Montagne:
La nuit tombe sur Beyrouth. Fadi, un homme d'une quarantaine d'années, accompagné par un ami, se rend à l'aéroport. Il est supposé s'absenter pour un mois. Mais au lieu de prendre l'avion, il loue une voiture, quitte Beyrouth, prend l'autoroute du nord et s'engage sur une route montagneuse.

Zeina, a Lebanese woman living in Dubai, sends her son Karim to stay with her sister in Kherbet Selem – a village in the South of Lebanon – to save him from the bickering of the final stages of her divorce.

A few days later, war breaks out. Desperately worried, Zeina heads to Lebanon, via Turkey to find her son.

But because of the blockade, she cannot reach the port of Beirut until the day of the cease-fire. And only one taxi-driver – Tony – will take her to what is now the decimated South.

At first glance, the two are an unlikely match. Although both are originally from South Lebanon, Tony is a Christian whose brother lives in Israel, and Zeina is Shia… But what difference does it really make?

The quest for the missing child sends them on a journey through the war-ravaged South, where their experience of death and tragic loss eventually brings them together.
