If the sun drowned into an ocean of clouds
Beirut, Lebanon. On the waterfront’s construction site, security agent Raed must prevent passing-by walkers from accessing the seaside. Yet as the horizon becomes each day more stifled by the construction, Raed makes peculiar encounters — mere dreams, or symbols of his desires?
Bon Apoutine
Ludovic is from Quebec. He travels the world with his "skouik-skouik" cheese and have one goal in mind : introduce people to a typical meal from his neighbourhood called "poutine". A pretext to meet “ordinary people” - off the beaten track - to open the door to their homes... And eat this extraordinary poutine! It will also be an opportunity to discover destinations from another angle, beyond the clichés. Bon Apoutine aims to promote another vision of travel, humanist, made up of encounters rather than a collection of places. And, why not, break certain preconceived ideas!
