Just another evening at home in a war zone…

synopsis

A family living in a war-torn country spends what seems to be a normal evening together. Their conversations shift between casual matters of daily life and those of survival. This ambiguous situation highlights how we take time for granted and live life.
Une famille vivant en zone de guerre, passe une soirée à la maison. Ils discutent des sujets comme la vie quotidienne, et survivre dans leur situation - ce qui fait réflechir sur le fait qu'on prend son temps et sa vie pour acquis.
Een gezin in oorlogsgebied op een doordeweekse avond. De conversaties gaan over thema's als het dagelijkse leven en overleven. Deze gewoonlijke crisissituatie houdt ons een spiegel voor van hoe we tijd en leven als vanzelfsprekend beschouwen.
