Beyrouth fantôme
أشباح بيروت
Ghassan Salhab

Lebanon, at the end of the 80s. After ten years of absence, Khalil suddenly reappears in Beirut. His return spreads turmoil, doubt and anger among his close friends and former companions-in-arms, who believed he was dead.  

 

Le Liban, à la fin des années 80. Après dix ans d'absence Khalil ressurgit à Beyrouth.
Son retour sème l'émoi, le doute et la colère chez ses proches et ses compagnons de lutte qui l’avaient cru mort.

 

لبنان، في أواخر الثمانينيات. بعد غيابٍ دام عشرة أعوام، يعود خليل إلى بيروت.
فتُحدث عودتُه مشاعرَ اضطراب، وارتياب، وغضب في نفوس أقربائه وزملائه في الكفاح الذين اعتقدوه ميتاً.
