The year is 2024 AD. Beirut is entirely occupied by the forces of privatized boredom. Well, not entirely... A few areas of indomitable players still hold out against the devastation of public space for leisure. Playtime Karantina is the first episode of Beirut Belongs to Whom?, a short documentary film series about urban issues in Beirut. A collaboration between filmmakers and urban researchers, with the aim of kindling the discussion on our city, and the claiming of it by all its dwellers.
