Under Beirut's umbrella of corruption and chaos, Palestinian taxi driver Abu Hussam strives to reconnect with the love of his life and dreams of a permanent shelter. The runaway Syrian boy Ali survives on the streets, waiting for the return of a missing friend and Lebanese woman Samya is racing to provide for her mother’s surgery who is going blind from glaucoma. „Underdown" follows them on a pulsating journey through their daily struggles living with poverty. Stuck in dark loops of violence, social injustice and alcohol abuse, they connect in their search for hope, freedom and happiness.
