Plot synopsis from All Movie Guide:
Lebanese filmmaker Randa Chahal Sabbag directs the drama Le Cerf Volant (The
Kite).
Teenaged Lamia (Flavia Bechara) lives in southern  Lebanon near the border to
Israel. One day she lets her kite fly into  the Israeli side and attempts to
retrieve it. She then meets Israeli  Arab border guard Youssef (Maher Bsaibes),
who works in a tower overlooking both sides of the barbed-wire fence separating
the  countries. Her family is outraged, so they send her off to marry her 
cousin on the other side of the border. Lamia refuses to sleep with  her new
husband, instead maintaining an interest in Youssef.

Hope you can make it,
Dana.
