NB: This film is very relatable to me having the same age as the director; lived the civil war in Lebanon until 1984 where I left to study in France; lived the war in 2006 with my four children while on vacation and we have been evacuated by the first French boat to Cyprus. Therefore, every part of this film means alot to me.
Great flashback over 30 years earlier where director show his own experience of wars in Lebanon. Read about it in school, listened to his parents about previous wars, lived the civil war in 1975 and then the 2006. The best way to describe this film is "Art" instead of documentary. The director bring us on a journey of emotions and discoveries where individual, family and history play central stage. Leveraging the family, resemblences, shooting techniques, and mixing past with today play great deal of creation. The protagonist act by engaging others like mother, wife, children, and neighbours faced with the love of two countries.
Recommend to everyone looking for something different.
