Overview
A late-night chat between two former lovers who have not been in contact for ten years transforms into a compelling elegy of loss and longing. Patiently cadenced to the rhythm of words being typed on a piece of paper, Zaatari skillfully mixes technologies of communication and recording to navigate time and temporal gaps.
