Little by little the Orient
A Film by Jacques Debs
- Coproducer -
Synopsis
The country of Jacques Debs, lebanon, has been at war for the past twenty-five years. The peoples of the Near East have been tearing each other apart for nearly a century. Haunted by hatred, the director looked for another East, one which is not talked about, muffled, intimate ; one which simmers in the kitchens and loses itself in a labyrinth of identities... A man and five women reveal to us the relation between the East and cooking and hospitality. Cooking may be a source of alienation, a hindrance to freedom, but also a source of enjoyment, happiness and the pleasure of giving. This film is a journey in four Near East countries at war : Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Palestine. A pilgrimage to discover lost happiness...
