This video essay revisits the Ain-Toura massacre as an unresolved rupture that continues to inhabit the present. Through reactivated archival images and fragmented testimonies, the work treats violence as a lingering condition sustained by silence, denial, and the absence of accountability. Rather than reconstructing history, the film operates as a palimpsest of memory where images appear as traces and apparitions, and reconciliation remains suspended. It asks how unacknowledged wounds are transmitted across generations, and how everyday life becomes a site where unfinished histories resurface.
