A filmmaker sets out to understand why the renowned Lebanese director Jocelyne Saab invited him to collaborate just two months before her death. Unable to respond to her invitation now, he takes the audience on a personal journey through her life, political struggles and artistic vision. The film revisits the work and ideas of a filmmaker whose cinema was deeply connected to the revolutionary spirit of her time.
