Synopsis
When I was a child, there was a portrait of a man in our house. I never knew who he was; nobody in my family spoke much about him. As time passed, I discovered he was my Uncle Fouad, and he was a poet. Later, I discovered he was one of the founders of the Black September Organisation, and one of the engineers of the 1972 Munich massacre. This film seeks to break the silence and to discover the uncle I have never known, to question whether the end justifies the means, and to reveal the effects of having someone with this reputation in one’s family.
