After having worked as a war photographer for years and suffering various traumas, award-winning photographer Jeroen Robert Kramer wants to make a fresh start as an artist in his hometown Beirut. Here, he meets Monsieur Khiar, a remarkable elderly man who despite the civil war has not lost his love of life, art and literature.
