Suspended Time, Suspended Time

Dans l’intimité d’une petite pièce, entouré de ses archives personnelles, Sleiman — étudiant en cinéma sur le point d’achever son parcours — tente de sauvegarder sa mémoire en réalisant un film. Peu à peu, son regard se pose sur son père Khaled, qui, après une vie de travail entre le Liban et la Syrie, se retrouve privé d’un foyer stable.
