This film is part of Joyce Joumaa’s Carte Blanche, co-presented with MOMENTA Biennale de l’image and with the support of the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
A non-linear conversation based on love letters written in Egypt in the 1950’s between a communist activist in prison and his wife. Social and political problems begin to emerge over the couple’s feelings, just as the realization of turning points in history erases every trace of nostalgia.
