Basra

SYNOPSIS:

Cairo, March 17, 2003. The US/UK strike against Iraq is imminent. How can an Egyptian photographer, in his thirties, surpass his own disappointment & fears? How can he find an answer to the existential questions related to life, death, sex and logic amidst his awareness of all the absurdity around him? Can this artist remain alive (breathing, thinking and photographing) surviving the oppressive atmosphere? Or is he going to collapse with the fall of Baghdad?
