Shabaq (This woman’s pleasure)

Shabaq_head
Un film réalisé par Zalfa Seurat - Short Films

Batroun, north of Lebanon.
A couple is trying to enjoy an afternoon at the beach. The woman is attracted by three thugs, handsome and virile that disturb the tranquility of this perfect day. Their brutality causes the anger of the owner of the snack bar who threatens them. Violence breaks out on all sides.
That of women will reach a different extreme.
