Like many teenagers at his time, he joined the army when he was 17. What he fought for he did not understand. At the battlefields, he and his comrades shot aimlessly as self-defence in fear and confusion. At the moment when he pulled his first trigger, all the heroic fantasies he once had of himself shattered into fragments and reduced to a single wish to survive. With luck, he kept alive among the death of many others, from bloodsheds and countless innocent killings. Day after day, the war came to an end. After such a traumatic experience of his youth, in order to move on in life, he became selectively amnestic. Amnesia - a perfect self-defence mechanism. There was one particular memory that he and his surviving comrades tried to forget, and they did. But they couldn't totally escape from their forgotten memories. A recurring dream kept on reminding them of what had happened few years ago in Lebanon when he was 17. He began to get confused of what was real and what was not real. In the wake of amnesia, he pursued the quest to find out what the dream was all about.

A vulnerable fantasy created by the authorities
For "meaningful" killings?

For an act of collective amnesia?
Sadly, fire has never been ceased.
Let's stop history of war to repeat again, again and again.
