Synopsis
The director met Samir Farhat, one of the featured characters in her documentary "Borders" (Israel/2000), four years ago. Samir is a successful Lebanese merchant who wears many hats (and uniforms) and has survived in the dangerous profiteering business world between the borders of Southern Lebanon and Israel. His life and work were so compelling that after the completion of "Borders" the director and her camera continued for years to capture his business, his family and his friends. The result is this portrait of a unique businessman who lives his life within the Lebanese chaos and provides a different, human and dramatic look at what Israelis call "The Lebanese Fiasco."
