Chadi Aoun

Silence is the only sound in the city of Ghabra. Any form of expression is met by death. Chadi Aoun's animated short exposes the secret codes of silent creative resistance in the authoritarian darkness of a dysfunctional society.

Disillusioned with his life in the suburbs of segregated Beirut, Omar's unusual discovery lures him into the depth of the city. Immersed into a world that is so close yet so isolated from his reality, he finds himself struggling to keep his attachments, his sense of home.
