A Few Moments of Happiness (Quelques instants de bonheur)

Synopsis

A young Lebanese filmmaker in Paris watches Lebanon's war unfold on her phone from bed. In a state of paralysis, barely able to get out of bed, she calls her father everyday and begins recording her digital life.
Using screen recordings, family voices, and silences, the film intimately portrays a generation witnessing their homeland's destruction remotely.
