WARNING: This film contains violence and profanity and can impair the physical, mental or moral development of children and juveniles.

Moving to Beirut’s anarchic rhythm, Underdown follows the struggles of a Palestinian cab driver who lives in his car, a homeless Syrian kid and a Lebanese woman and her family. Through a pulsating journey filled with harsh realities and an unbreakable sense of humor, they convey glimmers of hope in the darkest of places.
