In Joreige’s remarkable documentary, six individuals describe the ten-plus years they each spent interned in the Khiam detention camp, built in 1985 by Israel's auxiliary militia, the South Lebanon Army. They tell of solitary confinement in rooms no bigger than closets, of six people packed in one cell - allowed only their prison uniforms, a mattress and a blanket. Deprived of everything except dreams, they hide scraps of life-stones, cheese wrappers and garbage and use them to create art. Their stories are graphic, brutal and sometimes horrifying, yet they each pay tribute to the individual’s struggle to live and to dream.
