Â“Out LoudÂ” examines the challenges and social conflicts faced by youth in a society ruled by rigid ideas and traditions. Set in modern day Lebanon, where non-traditional relationships are taboo, five men and one woman form a unique bond that allows them to transcend the strictures of Middle Eastern society, but not without sacrifice and pain.
Jason, a young man with the innocent heart of a child, finds solace in an unlikely group of friends - a victim of constant exploitation, an eternal optimist and dreamer, a cold-hearted yet ambitious young man, and a forbidden gay lover all become central to JasonÂ’s life. When Nathalie, a visiting stranger meets the five men, their lives are changed forever.

Nathalie, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, captures the attention of all five men with her charm and vibrant personality. When each man sets out to win her affections, the competition that ensues inspires playful happiness and the discovery of the inner strength and courage that lies within us all. The menÂ’s relationships with Nathalie and each other are fraught with danger. Unable to ignore their mutual attraction and unflagging bond, the six become modern day rebels who set out to create a community of their own.

They create a world where gay lovers are accepted for who they are and the barriers between man and woman are broken down. Their choices bring tragedy and heartache when the rebelsÂ’ families, unable to understand how centuries of cultural morality and tradition can be discarded so easily, get involved.

Â“Out LoudÂ” is a snapshot of the reality of the new generation in Lebanon, their way of living, the conflict and fear that they face on a daily basis, and the hopes and dreams that keep them alive. Struggling against their pasts, challenged by desire and the search for freedom, and facing a future of uncertainty, the friends come to realize what it truly means to live outside the archaic social restrictions that have been forced upon them, and...

There is no movie like "Out Loud" ever made in the Middle East.

Amaya-Akkermans(The Mantle)May 30,2012 "Out Loud" – to put it in simple words – isn't only challenging the taboos of a society but also telling a beautiful story and at that successfully. Unlike most films that tell linear stories with socially relevant content – and somehow evoke the format of the traditional novel – there's hardly any social realism in it and the aesthetics of the film is somewhere between poetry and hope.

Director Samer Daboul wanted to plant a seed for the future, and this film is precisely it. It is a question mark and an exclamation mark for all those who want to live in tolerance and equality. This film – Romantic, epic, sardonic – being humble as it is, is a microcosm of the real Lebanon that lurks underneath the wars and the endless political diatribes.
