Taste of Cement background

Taste of Cement

In the midst of Syria's devastating conflict, a group of construction workers toil in Beirut, constructing breathtaking skyscrapers, while their own communities and residences remain ravaged by unending bombardment.

The documentary follows Syrian construction workers in exile, who have lost their past and future, stuck in a perpetual present. Despite building new skyscrapers in Beirut on the ruins of the Lebanese civil war, their own homes in Syria are being destroyed. Confined to the construction site each night, they're haunted by news of their homeland and memories of war, their only solace being the new day's arrival.
