The explosion at the city&#8217;s port has left the population traumatised. There&#8217;s Aya, a Syrian refugee; Selim, an artist and activist; the Aladdin family in mourning; Yasmin, who responds to calls from a suicide prevention hotline; and Andrea, who firmly believes that the city will get back on its feet. Meanwhile, a latent tension persists in the port and Beirut&#8217;s inhabitants hesitate whether to stay or leave. Over three years, the film follows a population devastated by this tragedy with international repercussions. <em>To Close Your Eyes and See Fire<\/em> is a poetic mosaic about the void left by tragedy, but it also tackles the unanswered questions that still haunt the city.
