Synopsis

Mon Dewulf lives in Brussels. From home, he browses YouTube, Google and X for images of Beirut, a city that is currently (once again) under bombardment. His partner is there, and he too is documenting the destruction around him. Far from Beyrouth is the visual correspondence, charged with fear and anger, that the two engage in. (PC)
