Lebanon / 11'38'' / No Dialogue and Subtitles
In a world shattered by chaos, meteors rain from the sky, and life struggles to survive. Rok, a once-passionate sculptor, is turning to stone, paralyzed by the loss of his wife and young daughter. Overgrown with vines, he sits motionless, consumed by grief. His young son, Ray, who shares the same tragic loss, refuses to surrender. Desperate to awaken his father from his grief, Ray carves figures from stone, hoping to inspire Rok before he is completely consumed. But as Rok continues to resist, Ray’s spirit begins to falter.
