Stand-by Office

Randa Maroufi / Lebanon, France, Netherlands, Romania / 2017 / East European Premiere / 13 min.


synopsis

The camera enters an office. The receptionist answers the telephone, her co-workers drink coffee during their break and talk about their plans. Later, there is a meeting. The stiffness of the situation reveals a hidden story. What exactly took place from June 2015 to September 2016 in the government building in Amsterdam?
