A French-Lebanese documentary about a forgotten piece of history. The film's website says:

The project enables us to consider the historic events of those years: pan-Arabism, the notion of a vast Arab nation and its decline after the Arab armies were defeated by Israel in 1967. A defeat which confused our societies, our parents generation, and which transformed deeply the Arab world and, first and foremost, our image of ourselves.
