150 minutes | France, LIBAN
Fida grew up in Beirut in the 1980s during the war, immersed in the ‘red hell’ that her grandmother used to tell her about. The trivialisation of death made her question the value of life, and the meaning of this interminable war that resembled so many other wars. Using miniature figures and models, she meets the militiamen and compares her childhood vision with theirs.
