Director Statement:

Based on eclectic images shot between Paris and Beirut, some shot hastily by myself, others commandeered at a distance (documentary images filmed by a filmmaker friend), old and unused rushes from my previous feature films, found footage (images gathered and borrowed from a few classic cinema masterpieces), the film, a collage, is conceived as an experimental fiction, an impressionistic diary of an intense lapse of time, showing and condemning certain aspects of human nature.
