Lebanese filmmaker Marc Abi Rached's debut feature film tells the tale of a teenager, Ali, whose life is turned upside down when he meets Souraya, a prostitute living with a gay man who is threatened by a mobster. A highly controversial film,
Help has tested the boundaries of the Lebanese censors with its use of nudity and the raw manner in which it explores social taboos.
