'A portrait of queer friendship and expression that mends itself even as everything threatens to literally explode around it.' bernieteeters reviews Sirens Sundance2022
Mixed into the wail of alarms, hiss of teargas and thunderous calls for the fall of the regime in Beirut, another sound is ripping through the night air, and this one comes from the depths of hell itself. Meet Lilas, Shery, Maya, Alma and Tatyana of Slave to Sirens—Beirut’s newest leather- and mesh-clad all-girl thrash metal band.
Before seeing just how relevant that threat is, however, Baghdadi builds the band’s foundation. The camaraderie among bandmates is clear; from getting each other glittered up for performances to giddily shouting “Hail Satan” at the setting red sun to celebrating Lilas’ birthday, it’s easy to fall in love with the band even if thrash metal isn’t your genre of choice.
Alongside the band’s apparent difficulty in consistently booking gigs in Beirut, and trying to convince her mother that she doesn’t need to get married in order to move out, Lilas is hiding a long-distance relationship with her Syrian girlfriend Alaa.
