Overview

In 1975, a group of young Lebanese men joined the Palestinian organization “Fateh”. Known as the “Student Brigade”, they took part in the Lebanese Civil War. Some of them were killed, others left the country. Following the Israeli invasion in 1982, Palestinian armed forces left Lebanon. The “Student Brigade” disbanded, and the once young Lebanese fighters have now become old, nursing their solitude with alcohol, poetry, and songs.
