LEAVES

Directed by : Omar Shami

“Ain-Bal, our childhood village, counts 70 inhabitants today, but had 4000 a few decades ago. Since then, this village spends most of his time hoping, screaming the names of those who left, and waiting for their return. 4 of those 70 villagers talk about passing time, each of them suffering from some kind of absence.

This poetic documentary illustrate the slow passage of time  in Ain-Bal, a Lebanese village submerging the memories of the past with a slumbering present.
