Adapted from Hawra Dahini’s text, this experimental video essay examines how the Lebanese Civil War persists long after its formal end, embedded in language, gestures, and everyday forms of normalized violence. Through reactivated archival shards and intimate domestic traces, the film approaches war as an inherited grammar shaping memory and social relations, while asking whether such learned violence can be unspoken, unlearned, and reimagined.
