Tombé du ciel
Wissam Charaf
Is another story of war and its aftermath even possible? Wissam Charaf demonstrates that it is, through this melancholic comedy about characters trying to survive—and to love—in a country (Lebanon) which is still drowning under the repercussions of a fifteen year long civil war. After years of absence, Samir returns to his family’s home where the only people left are, a father devastated by the defeat and a disoriented younger brother. Samir tries to recover his place in a country that no longer recognizes him (and vice-versa). Like a ghost—though he is certainly corporeal—he must take back control of a life that has been interrupted by armed conflict. He is a body that occupies a singular space, at once very visible yet already no longer there, a burlesque spectre resisting its own disappearance, a spectre that bothers and disorients everything. Almost like a lay angel indicating the solar path that must be taken after the fire. (Elena Lopez Riera)
Après avoir travaillé comme monteur et cadreur pour des reportages l'ayant mené dans de nombreuses zones de conflit (Liban, Afghanistan, Darfour), Wissam Charaf s'oriente vers le cinéma.
