1980年代中期的照片，兩名身分不明的口述旁白，拼貼出黎巴嫩內戰期間的「被消失」事件。導演以個人之姿，從街道上陳年的海報牆裡，尋找被人遺忘的肖像與歷史，但案發現場與不義遺址，皆已被新場景取代抹去。本片以圖像的掩蓋抹消刪除，質問影像中政治、哲學上的抹除，以及抹除裡被懸置的轉型正義。

迦桑．哈瓦尼：「這些臉孔之中很多是我認識的人，我知道總有一天我會重建這些面孔，我們會找出他們，人是不可能憑空消失的，他們總會在某個地方。我們很清楚這個國家、城市的現實，也就是這些消失人口在某座無名塚的事實。我們每晚在他們所在地上方的夜店跳舞、停車、慢跑，我們就生活在他們之上，而且心知肚明。我想我們會因為這些事而受未來世代的譴責。」

In the mid-1980s, during the Lebanese Civil War, I witnessed the kidnapping of a man I knew. He has remained missing ever since. Ten years ago, I caught a glimpse of his face while walking down a street in Beirut. Under layers and layers of ripped posters on a wall, parts of his face were torn off. I want to restore the man's features, even though the city has been striving to erase the traces and trails of those who disappeared beyond recovery.

Ghassan HALWANI: 'I knew many of these faces… I knew that one day I would be restoring the faces. We will find them––it's impossible for someone to disappear. They're always somewhere. We are aware of the reality of our country and our city, the reality of the presence of the disappeared somewhere in mass graves. We go and dance in night clubs above them; we park our cars; we go jogging––we live above them and we know it, and I think we will be condemned by future generations for what we are doing.'
