Feature Film | Lebanon | 2009 | 97 min.
Like thousands kidnapped during the Lebanese civil war, Ramez, a physically and morally devastated man, returns after 20 years, destabilizing his typical Lebanese family who knew nothing about what had become of him: a daughter who studies at the music conservatory, a son who works and parties with friends, and a wife who has dedicated her life to her children. At times Ramez imagines he is being followed by his former jailers. Hiding in Zeinab's building in an almost comatose-like state, a friendship is born when she invites him in and shows him pictures of her husband, also kidnapped and still missing.
