Rabih Mroué questions the power of images, their instrumentalization, and their relationship to real or invented facts, to truth or deception, and their impossible objectivity. Through the lens of his own personal story, he scrutinizes contemporary politics and history of Lebanon and the Middle East. And what seems to be a fatalistic, almost defeatist, approach, turns out to be a deep wisdom of acceptance. His attempt at finding out what the future holds in coffee-stained collages ultimately sparks a glimmer of hope.
