A Lebanese family settles in Canada after fleeing the war in Lebanon at the end of the 1980s. Quickly, the Ottawa residence of Zeïna, 14, and Fady, 8, transforms into a welcoming place for Lebanese people seeking temporary refuge, much to the dismay of the two young siblings, who are forced to share a room. Through the themes of exile, integration, and the desire for belonging, Hôtel Beyrouth invites readers to discover the richness of the Lebanese community and to share the experiences of immigrant families in search of peace and prosperity. A story inspired by real events.
