The Rifle, the Jackal, the Wolf, and the Boy

When two brothers use a household rifle without their father’s consent, they get more than they bargained for. Set at a time when Lebanon's porous border is being threatened by hostile infiltration, this political parable is a coming-of-age story that examines the fragility of fraternal trust and brings into focus the ethics of presumably necessary violence, its perception and its consequence.
