Fida grew up in war-torn Beirut in the 80s, immersed in the “red hell” her grandmother used to tell her about. The trivialization of death made her doubt the value of life, and the meaning of this interminable war that resembled so many other wars. Using miniature figures and models, she meets the militiamen and compares her childhood vision with theirs.
