2008 / 35 mm / 0:18:00
"Song for a deaf ear" is a poetic film on the demenciality of war and on the violence that strucks Liban. The film maker goes back to his origins in 2007 in order to create a film on the death of his neighbours something like 20 years before. He builds a story that focuses on a man who has been killed by bullets in the streets of Beyrouth during the civil war and on the world that crumbles around him.
