After 15 years of exile in France, Kamal returns to Beirut with his mind set
on one goal: recreate the dance group he had formed with his school friends
and whom he hasn't seen since - but today, not only does he want to bring
back this disparate group together, but also take the bold move of
introducing a Western flavor to the traditional Dabkeh music.


When the dancers audition before the jury of the national Dabkeh festival,
they are curtly rejected on the basis that they are causing prejudice to the
"only cultural icon left". This prompts them to refurbish their old school
bus and embark on a road trip across Lebanese towns to perform and introduce
their pioneering dance to the public. 


As they struggle to win people over to their alternative spirit, each of the
dancers also realizes that they have also embarked on a personal journey to
reconnect with their childhood, their friendships lost and found, the pains
of the war and of separation... a journey that will lead a group of friends
to turn the page on a painful past. 


Bosta is a road musical that takes the audience on a wonderful journey
across various Lebanese regions... a journey accompanied by a groundbreaking
soundtrack and, of course, this truly pioneering dance, the electro-dabkeh.
