Dahietna: our Dahieh (suburb); colloquial Lebanese Arabic
In a country riveting with chaos, no real solutions at the door, turmoil and warring factions eagerly wait for the counter attack, but Dahietna is far from that, it tackles us, our relationships, what we face, not something created by our leaders as opium for our minds. Dahietna is our reality whether positive or negative, it showcases the true us, whether we like it or not. It goes as deep as the dark secrets we hold back, and as high as our happiest most gracious moments. The road twists and turns as we follow our main characters: Mariana, Mahran, Batoul, Malek, Ali, and Zeina in a brief of what their life has to offer, and we discover that we are all linked by some line that we don’t see…
Mariana: Her life torn by torment since early childhood, never knew a good time till she met who she thought was going to be her savior from her dark life, insecure and agitated she leads a life of depression and suicidal urges.
Mahran: A guy with a lot of potential torn apart by what his surrounding wants him to be, and what he really wants to be, his peer pressure is so high that it kills the energy within him, here we witness Mahran takin the choices, either to become what he wants or bury whatever is left of his energy under the soil.
Malek: A significantly talented individual, highly skilled in many fields or art, yet he has a life which he has devoted himself to, lost between these two worlds he tries to find amends.
Batoul: With failed love attempts, she tries to muster all what she could so that she can live with sanity, already building a list of do’s and don’ts she moves on with her life awaiting what she might face it to grow stronger.
Ali: A successful young man with a very dark secret hidden deep within him, always struggling not to become what he fears the most, we witness either the birth of a new man, or an entirely self destructing force.
Zeina: Your everyday perfectionist, always hoping for the best, while struggling with her own flaws, she’s been aiming to be her personal number one on her own race with herself. Will she get what she wants? Or fall into the infinite loop that will make her will crumble?
Here are the key players of “Dahietna” join us weekly with 1 edition of this twisted spin of reality on the most scrutinized area in Lebanon…
Sincerely yours
