## Logline

The destiny of a young refugee falls in the hands of twelve jury members.

## Synopsis summary

After social activist Salma Hadid is murdered, an eighteen-year-old Syrian refugee is accused of the crime. With the death penalty reinstated, twelve ordinary Lebanese jurors are locked into a decaying room and told to decide the final verdict. The case appears simple until one juror votes not guilty, turning a rush to judgement into a pressure cooker of prejudice, memory, fear, and doubt.

## Director's angle

Boudy Sfeir frames the film as a question about whether people shaped by sectarian, political, and social fracture can ever arrive at one objective decision together. The jury-room setting is not just dramatic economy. It is the mechanism that turns the country's wider pressures into scene-level suspense.

## Sales positioning

`Tnaash` sits in the overlap between social chamber drama and jury-room thriller. It has a clean hook, a contained setting, and an argument that sharpens scene by scene instead of dispersing. The film does not ask the viewer to admire distance. It asks the viewer to keep choosing sides.

That is the commercial advantage. The premise is editorially serious, but the engine is immediate: one accusation, twelve jurors, and shifting certainty. It gives curated film platforms a title with civic weight and critical framing, while still offering broader subscription services a clear watch-through proposition.

## Immediate outreach angle

Lead with the film's jury-room engine, post-blast Lebanese context, and the fact that the package is already editorially usable. Keep the language sharp and platform-facing: pressure, escalation, moral fracture, and a localized story that remains legible internationally because the conflict is instantly graspable.
