Jal el Bahr

Jal el Bahr

8 min

Jal el Bahr is a personal essai that retraces the history of a 1960’s domain in the South of Lebanon and the family it belongs to. Between reminiscing and feeling of loss, the documentary shifts into a metaphorical universe by illustrating the story through living pictures, discretely unveiling the unspoken that might have led to its perdition.
