Synopsis
The essence of reality is a concept of the Iranian theologian scholar Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i (1904-1981). Basically this would mean: God. With human beings in the game a temporal category has to be added, which in it's statistical dimension would then have to be called history., After the July war in 2006, Hizbullah promised to rebuild the devastated southern suburbs of Beirut: adat ajmal (rebuilding more beautiful). Hizbullah claims to redefine history and, in addition, space. In the cited religious framework this redefinition by the Party of God would take place in a precarious relationship to reality., Researching the religious basis of the urban development project leads the documentary to three questions: 1. the presence of God in history, 2. the problem of controlling optical access 3. the diegetic reality the documentary film has to deal.
