Synopsis
Autumn, 2007. I am being offered to follow a kurdish batallion of the Iraqi army, in Mosul. I have 48 hours to decide myself. I leave. Over there a friend gives me his old Hi8 video camera, with ten tapes. I am a photographer. I have never filmed. I have never seen war. For a month, I stay next to thoses soldiers, and I film their daily life. Wait, tensions, dead times, endless crossings of this city, in search of untraceable terrorists.
