Summary:

"This lyrical three-part video project investigates the possibilities and limits of writing a history of the Lebanese Civil Wars (1975-1991). Director Walid Ra'ad does not document what happened but, rather, what can be imagined, what can be said, what can be taken for granted, what can appear as rational, sayable and thinkable about these wars."--Arab Film Distribution website.
