Synopsis
Excerpts from the film 'Little Wars', an old correspondence, and other family and personal archives intertwined with virtual zoom meetings of the present are used to look into the dynamic of the relationship that unites Souraya Baghdadi to her late husband, Maroun Baghdadi. Souraya entered the world of cinema in 1981 when she played the leading role in the film 'Little Wars' by Maroun, selected at Cannes in 1982. After the film, they got married and exiled to Paris, where they remained together until the mysterious death of the famous Lebanese director in December 1993. Today, thirty years later, this film portrays Souraya through the presence of Maroun in her life but also through his absence.
