Bankrupt and back to square one, a mid-30s university lecturer returns to his chaotic parents’ cramped home in Beirut. Amid parental meddling, sibling rivalry, and maladaptive daydreams, he embarks on a comedic yet heartfelt quest for independence and sanity.
"Kamal, in his 30s, was once a promising architect and the pride of his family—until Lebanon’s endless crises played a cruel joke on him. He lost everything: his apartment, his career, his dreams, and even his ability to remember where he left his keys. With no other options, he reluctantly returns to his childhood home, only to find his parents have turned the already cramped space into a refuge for relatives displaced by the country’s hardships. Kamal’s grand ambitions have now shrunk to the size of the worn-out couch he’s sentenced to sleep on—a couch that, like his life, has seen better days.
A master of denial, Kamal hides behind a delusional facade, spinning clumsy lies to maintain face in front of his family. To untangle his mess of a life, he continues to see his childhood therapist, though she seems to have run out of patience for his drama. ‘Men Home La Hon’ is a coming-of-age story about a man broken by a broken nation, forced to confront the absurd comedy of life in Lebanon. It invites the audience to laugh, cringe, cry, and relate to Kamal’s journey. More than just a comedy, it’s a survival guide for anyone who has ever felt like they’re living in a real-life sitcom. Will Kamal finally break free from his web of lies and come of age?"
