  On the day the Americans conquered Baghdad, Tsur Shezaf went to Iraq– “because the time after war is the most interesting time.” The film travels for a month in a broken country, Sadam is not gone yet, the Americans are sure they won the war. But as the films shows – the singes were on the wall and it turned out as the month before the real war began. A rare first person hair-raising documentation that reveals to an unknown Iraq . (First screening on 7th Cinema South International film Festival)
