About Home shows what happen when people live more than 60 years in a refugee camp. The film goes inside the intimate life of a Palestinan familiy to show their thoughts, desires and contradictions after more than half a century living in Lebanon as a refugees. About Home explores the meaning of living in stand-by in an atmosphere of hate, violence and arms. Small clockwork bombs inhabiting a compulsive country.

A military helicopter circles in the sky like an evil wasp. Chaos on the ground after the attack. A fast-paced sequence - bleeding people, burning cars and confused soldiers. Subheading: From Beirut - with Love. A cinematic postcard-greeting, so bitter and cynical, it can only come from a city at war with itself. The only dialogue in the film reveals a surprising connotation: Beirut is Paris, or Madrid, or any other metropolis. The scene is set: youth without a future, bomb attacks, drugs, arms, soldiers. The postcard has arrived.

Beirut, July 2006. Israeli bombings strike the city. While Beirut is still on fire, the filmmaker starts a journey across his native land. The film is not a documentary - although the images are burningly real - but an essay. Using two complementary techniques, 16 mm film and HDV, the artist questions the deep foundations of the documentary genre. The eye of the cameras goes through a country in a state of terror, it records the immediate effects of war when it touches civilians.

A journey through Beirut's devastated neighbourhoods and some villages in southern Lebanon. The ordinary stories of ordinary people. Women, children and men face the challenge of remaking their lives in the midst of the devastation. 34 days of bombing by Israel have left indelible marks. Hundreds of families have lost their loved ones, a million displaced people return to their devastated houses. The Lebanese people wake from the nightmare full of rage and sorrow. Bombs are heavy, peace has no weight.
