Colorful, stop-motion animation and offbeat characters add whimsy to this drama limning the marriage between a Swiss woman and a Lebanese astrophysicist. Sparks fly when the European visitor meets the genial scientist in a Beirut café in the 1950s, the city becoming their home after they wed. But can that love survive when civil war breaks out 20 years later? Writer/director Chloé Mazio makes an impressive feature debut with a bewitching film that begins as an airy, eccentric romance before transforming into something deeper and emotionally resonant. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
