Flavia Bechara is a Lebanese actress who has starred in the films The Kite and Adam's Wall. In The Kite (French: Le Cerf-volant, Arabic: Tayyara men wara — طيّارة من ورق), a 2003 Lebanese film by the director Randa Chahal Sabag, she plays the leading role. The film tells the story of fifteen-year-old Lamia (played by Bechara), who lets her kite fly into the Israeli side of the border and attempts to retrieve it. She meets Israeli Arab border guard Youssef (played by Maher Bsaibes), who works in a tower overlooking both sides of the barbed-wire fence separating the countries. Her family is outraged, so they send her off to marry her cousin on the other side of the border.
