SUMMARY
On the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, a lost city. A memory that does not fade, that persists in remembrance from generation to generation. Oral sources, archival images and sounds bring it to life, as if we were strolling through its streets and attending its very first shows and screenings. Director Rashid Masharawi takes us on a tour of the birthplace of his parents and grandparents, who were forced into exile in 1948.
Recovery is a cinematic experience that attempts to cloud the border between time and space, as we are taken on a tour of photos from 1930 to 1948, allowing Masharawi’s nostalgia to breathe a new life into the static bodies portrayed.
