In 1970, a young Syrian filmmaker, driven by revolutionary warmth, made an experimental film to celebrate the great progress of his country towards modernization. Thirty five years later, the director Omar Amiralay, now mature, returns to the location of his first film. The damp, which the construction he had depicted before, has collapsed, and the same is about to happen with all the countries’ other infrastructure works. At the Al-Machi village, Amiralay stares speechless to what represents a sad ending for Arab socialism. The film depicts the effects of the devastating 35-year rule of the Syrian Baath Party. A rare example of contemporary film combining formal mastery and political courage.
