It
is one of the
magical nights
that brings
forth the
rebirth of
Lebanon
from its ashes.
Reviving the
splendorous
past,
undermined by
several
ill-intentioned
parties.
Driving to
think and
believe that
anything is
possible,
above all the
achievement of
happiness.
Within the
immemorial
framework of
InterContinental
Phoenicia
hotel, around
its royal
swimming pool,
more than 400
elegantly
dressed
persons
gathered
in
witness of the
splendour of
the pre-war
years. And…
the beautiful
Catherine
Deneuve, in
Lebanon
for a few days,
to participate
in the filming
of the feature
film starring
Joana
Hadjithomas
and Khalil
Joreige, of
which a scene
was filmed
during such
unique evening
event in
benefit of
Skoun
Association.
At the moment
of departure,
an evening
Cinderella
stated:
"This is
Lebanon
!" Full
of generosity
and
hospitality, a
dreamland,
with know-how
and the will
to live
decently, and
above all, the
nostalgia of
legitimate
happiness.
