It is well known in the cinematic community how humble the luck of the short film is so that we do not say bad, but some festivals compensate by collecting a number of them and displaying them in one package that is acceptable, as is the case in the demonstration of Loyac Lebanon, which presented the results of a meeting of 30 young artists in its camp: Film Camp, what we liked the most among them: Hanni, directed by the young director Alex Sassine, who chose for his film the talented actress: Takla Chamoun. Wonderful Takla in the role of a mother who returns to her home to be surprised that her son (Ziad Al-Siblani) committed suicide by hanging while he was wearing women’s clothes with full makeup and feminine details. Make-up on his lips, eyes and cheeks, throwing away long hair and removing it from women’s clothing.
At this time, the neighbors did not stop knocking on the door, who heard her loud scream when she saw him hanging from his neck in the ceiling. She did not open for anyone, but rather worked to drop him on the ground and immediately erase the traces of femininity from him, until the neighbors took off the apartment door and she finished the task of returning him to his image. Young, albeit dead.
Director Sassine succeeded in presenting his message. A mother hides from all people the perversion of her son and considers that his suicide is not measured by the scandal of the neighbors knowing regarding his homosexuality. It is true that the tape is short, but it seemed long, with all the messages and distinguishing marks that it carries, leading to a human place represented by the mother, and here Tkla shined.
