Welcome to the documentary.
This is Karin Torbay, an assignment in Lebanon.
Teer has a very nice weather, you know.
You see people like me swimming during the winter, diving, kite surfing.
For me, Teer is like the best place in the world.
This is Rashana.
She's 39. Teer is her home.
It's on the coast in the south of Lebanon, 20 kilometers away from the border with Israel.
This is our daily life, like on the afternoon when people finish their work.
The streets are full, you know.
The restaurants are full, the coffee shops are full.
