Director Philippe Asmar returns to Lebanese crime drama with Summer 85, a 2021 feature built around the same core cast that has anchored his recent work: Kosai Khauli, Nadine Njeim and Hussein Mokadem.
What is Summer 85 about?
Summer 85 is a Lebanese crime drama feature from 2021, directed by Philippe Asmar. Its cast list centers on Kosai Khauli and Nadine Njeim, with Hussein Mokadem, Carmen Lebbos and Ramy Ayash rounding out the ensemble. The genre combination of crime and drama typically points to a story where personal loss and moral reckoning play out against a backdrop of family or village life, a pairing Lebanese cinema and television return to often. Because the catalogue synopsis attached to this title is shared with other entries and cannot be trusted as a reliable plot description, this page keeps to verified facts about the production rather than narrating events that may belong to a different film.
About the cast
The film brings together Kosai Khauli, Nadine Njeim, Hussein Mokadem, Carmen Lebbos and Ramy Ayash, a group of performers well established in Lebanese and Arabic-language screen work. Their combined presence suggests a cast assembled for a wide regional release rather than a small independent one. K-Time does not attribute specific characters to specific actors on this page, since role-to-actor mapping is not part of the verified record for this title.
Context & significance
Lebanese cinema has a strong tradition of crime and family drama, often exploring themes of vengeance, honor and reconciliation within tight-knit communities, and Summer 85 fits squarely inside that lineage. For diaspora viewers used to Iranian film and television, a Lebanese production like this offers a related but distinct regional voice, sharing some cultural terrain around family and consequence while telling its story on its own terms. Philippe Asmar's direction gives the film a consistent visual and tonal identity.
