About Restless

What would life feel like without fear and oppression? Is it possible to find solace in the power of the chosen family, underground art collectives, and revolution?
Set in Beirut, Lebanon, Joseph Kai's graphic novel Restless explores these questions. It is 30 years after the end of the civil war, and a few months before the disastrous explosion of August 2020. Samar, a young queer comic book artist, wanders between anguished dreams, childhood memories, sexual experiences, and Beirut’s alternative communities.
