Suddenly one day, there is big news: the traders will no longer be allowed to sell their wares on the roadsides. There is a new, model souq under construction - but not all everyone will be able to have access to a stall to conduct their business. For Mohamed, Abdel Slam, and the many others who have grown up on Algeria Street, it is as though time is suddenly suspended. Some expect the worst; others form an association and organise protests.

A feature film shot bit by bit over 30 years, reflecting alienation, longing, fear, escape with an experimental approach to style and narrative. A visual personal journey from when I left Baghdad at age 17, the stills and films becoming my diary recording my nightmares, my feelings, looking for a homeland that was so far removed by fear and wars. The style of the film is proof of my experiencing the world through my camera, I am a witness throughout my exile.
