Dir. Danielle Arbid, 2007, Lebanon/France, 93 min.
Part of Arab Women in the Arts 2026
French photographer Thomas Koré (Melvil Poupaud) is searching for extraordinary experiences. Koré has become so detached from humanity that the only way he can connect with other people is to have—and photograph—bizarre and demeaning sexual encounters with prostitutes. When he meets Fouad Saleh (Alexander Siddig), a man with memory problems, he realized that Fouad is even more lost than he, and befriends him. Koré then tries to uncover Fouad's history.
