The US-Israeli war against Lebanon in the summer of 2006 is the subject of veteran Lebanese filmmaker Philippe Aractingi's new film.

Not many other films have had the hubris to ask for sympathy for an actress over and beyond the suffering of real people.

In extraordinary circumstances with quasi-documentary style, two genuine individuals search through powerful images of a country torn apart by religion, politics and war.

Most war movies don't cover this painful subject, the loss of the innocents, but this film does. Attention must be paid.
