Un mois de grand cinéma

Haunted by absences and uncanny visions, Ali Cherri’s eerie short soon slips from an atmosphere of suspense into a more surreal realm. Making potent use of nightmarish imagery, the acclaimed Lebanese visual artist crafts a poetic allegory for the absurdity of conflict with poignant force and care.

In search of purpose and connection, the despondent siblings in this atmospheric short ramble through sleepy suburbs that are filmed like the background of a video game. Cool in style and melancholy in subject, this film is also miraculously warm, imbued with a young man’s love for his brother.
