For one exclusive night, experience the Rahbani Brothers’ timeless classic Bint El-Hares (The Guard’s Daughter). Presented by Kalid Hosni, author of Brushstrokes of Arab Cinema.

In a Lebanese village where crime has all but vanished, two guards face dismissal by the village council. Nejma (Fairuz), daughter of a village guard (Shamseddine), secretly becomes a masked vigilante—uncovering scandals and blackmailing corrupt council members to prove the town is not as innocent as it seems, risking everything to win her father’s job back.

One of the greatest Arab musicals of all time, Bint El-Hares is filled with colour, charm, and heart-warming songs that invite audiences to reminisce on the golden age of Lebanese cinema—including “Nassam Alayna Al Hawa (The Breeze Blew Upon Us)” and “Teery Ya Teyara (Fly, Little Plane).”
