Plot
Nights and Days uses notes written and filmed during summer 2006 as a personal account of the experience of war The first part which resembles yet is not a diary of war oscillates between dayshots and nightshots and features a soundtrack expressing the idea of time passing awaiting interrogations and fears experienced in such an unusual time The second part is a journey to south Lebanon which was devastated during that war It alternates between peaceful landscapes and ruins and destruction accompanied only by music as no words could express this devastation Nights and Days questions the relation between image and sound and reflects on notions of beauty and horror through images of urban and natural landscapes where sometimes a detail betrays the presence of war and its violence
