I CAN'T GO HOME

Souraya, filmmaker, 6-months pregnant, arrives in Paris for a meeting concerning her next film just as a war breaks out in the Lebanon. She is forced to stay with her sister Mina, in exile in France for more than 10 years. From now on she experiences war from a distance, as a spectator, while her husband, Walid, a doctor, is at the heart of the conflict. She starts to film, making a kind of diary to fill the gap which separates them, to try to be closer to him.
The young woman projects her tragic, absurd and out of sync feelings onto the city in which she wanders, onto her prominent belly, onto activism…
Souraya changes, transforms: within her body, in her relationship to the future child, to Walid, her sister, her country and to images.
