While back in the old days the destinations and the luxury of a floating hotel room were the main attractions, today's shipping companies surpass each other with entertainment offers and fancy interior design features. Cruises have become available to the masses. A world designed in each and every detail, where no wish shall be unfulfilled. Everything is digitally recorded and posted, as if the image of the experience was at least as important as the experience itself. It seems to me that on a cruise holiday, all the aspects of our consumer society are assembled. It is a portrait of our society in a confined space, a microcosm, where the opposites of our times collide: wealth and poverty, mass and loneliness, nature and artificiality, culture and commerce.

Beirut, Lebanon. On the waterfront’s construction site, security agent Raed must prevent passing-by walkers from accessing the seaside. Yet each day as the horizon becomes more stifled by the construction, Raed makes peculiar encounters—mere dreams, or symbols of his desires?
