Synopsis

While the politicians of the world are focused on saving Lebanon from a potential civil war and reoccurring failed elections, the filmmaker goes on a family visit to southern Lebanon and focuses the lens on her animated uncle Rami, who would much rather swim, little Mariam who is learning how to walk and Ali, the courageous farmer. The result is an intimate and vibrant family portrait, which represents the potency of Lebanese dark humor—a gift that has helped them cope with a memory still imprinted with war.
