Synopsis

Ibrahim returns to the village he once left, hoping to screen films. But as he wrestles with customs and bureaucracy, war ignites across Sudan, turning his search for a screen into a battle to stay alive. With the director himself in front of the camera, this documentary is a personal testimony on exile, memory and fragile identity — an attempt to keep cinema and images alive in the middle of a war.
