The film is a romantic drama that explores the unexpected and passionate relationship between two very different women.

– a 42-minute short, shot on grainy 16mm in an unnamed Mediterranean port city. Directed by someone whose name appears only in the credits crawl of a single festival print. The film is a monologue in three languages: English, Arabic, and French. It follows a translator – a woman, late twenties, unnamed – who has been hired to subtitle a silent love poem written in 1894. The poem is Dowson’s Cynara . But her translation keeps glitching. Every time she types “I have been faithful to thee, Cynara,” the word Cynara turns into the face of a woman she left behind in Beirut, 1990. The film cuts between her editing suite (a cramped apartment with a CRT monitor) and Super 8 memory-sequences of a seaside promenade, a cassette tape melting in the sun, two hands passing a cigarette.
