Fatamorgana

In Fatamorgana, directed by an undisclosed filmmaker, Hanan finds herself in a surreal situation after hours in Beirut’s Hall of Fame. She engages with various figures and statues, cleaning and arranging them as she awaits her husband's arrival. Her actions serve as a metaphor for the ongoing chaos in the Middle East, reflecting the complexities of political representation.

The film presents a thought-provoking exploration of appearance versus reality, as Hanan attempts to polish the images of the political leaders depicted. This act of cleaning contrasts sharply with the underlying issues that these figures represent. The narrative invites viewers to consider the impact of these leaders on the lives of ordinary people in the region, while Hanan's personal journey unfolds in this quiet yet poignant setting.
