黎巴嫩年青天才盲人歌手拉比,為跟隨合唱團去歐洲表演申請護照,才驚覺自己的身份證是偽造的,自己也不是媽媽的親生兒,而是在三個月大時由舅舅從戰火中抱回家!於是拉比踏著戰火的餘燼追查身世,黎巴嫩內戰鬧成十五年分裂,大規模生死流離之中豈止弄丟了拉比的官方出生檔案,毀失的還有難民群族之間支離破碎的集體記憶。伊斯蘭世界仍然在黎巴嫩擦槍走火,就算有了真相也看不到光明,現實中也是視障歌手的演員Barakat Jabbour撕心裂肺地唱著首首中東民謠,用歌聲寄望終有一日看見希望之光。

While seeking a passport, blind musician Rabih discovers that his mother Samar is not his real mother. As an infant, Rabih was rescued and delivered to Samar by her brother Hisham during the Lebanese Civil War. But in searching for his true origins, Rabih encounters something more puzzling and tragic: a nation of people deluded by lies, and unable or unwilling to tell their own stories much less Rabih's. A remarkable debut from director Vatche Boulghourjian, Tramontane is both a revealing journey through rural Lebanon and a painful portrait of a people irretrievably scarred by civil war.
