Content
Semaan is leading a quiet life on his farm in the small village Ain el-Halazoun in the Lebanese mountains. The hamlet was completely emptied and destroyed in combats during the civil war in Lebanon between 1975 and 1990. Today, many years after an official reconciliation, its inhabitants which are all from one family regularly go back to the village to cultivate their plots of land or visit their houses and always leave before sunset.
In his comforting and humorous film Simon El Habre observes the life in his quasi ghost village and tries to reflect on the collective and individual memory in a country that seems to live in a collective amnesia and is vulnerable to a new civil war.

Content
A car parked in Jerusalem. Three friends are looking for their buddy Zak. In a Palestinian jail, in an Israeli jail - or did he go on a suicide mission? We take off for a static journey between reality and paranoia.
Ihab Jadallah, Palestine 2009, 9 min, fiction, Arabic with English subtitles


A simple structure drives the film from a static setting in a parked car to more agitated and paranoid scenes into which the mind of the three friends is driven by their fear for Zak. (Ihab Jadallah)
