Description

SIRENS

Directed by: Rita Baghdadi | 2021 | USA | 78 min

Headstrong 23-year-old guitarist Lilas Mayassi lives with her mom and younger brother on the outskirts of Beirut. By day, Lilas teaches music to kids. By night, she’s trying to keep her thrash metal band together. And she’s secretly falling for a young woman living across the border in Syria.

Sirens presents Lilas and Shery, co-founders and guitarists of the Middle East’s first all-female metal band, as they wrestle with friendship, sexuality, and destruction in their pursuit of becoming thrash metal rock stars.
