Scent Of An Angel (2011)
“MALAKI - Scent of an Angel” revolves around the families of abducted persons during and in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war. It sheds the light on the trauma of six different families constantly teetering on the brink of incertitude. Put this way, each family does not know the fate of their abducted family member; whether he is alive or dead. The very premise of the film is humane for it depicts the broken emotional ties within the family away from any political implication. The film combines real interviews within a surreal set on the one hand, and surreal fiction on the other hand. The interviews reveal the family’s reaction towards the abduction of a member. The fiction part is an incarnation of their fantasies; that is, an awaited day of reunion, a recurring dream and a fantasy. The film plays on the notion of blurred reality and fantasies since the families’ reality is unbearable; ultimately, they escape to their dream.

Lack of good storyline.
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I watched this movie at the Lebanese press screening with all the staff director , director of photography ..... The movie is about mothers , daughters , wife ... all waiting their loved ones return , either dead or alive , they are sharing their deepest feelings , a very touching movie , shows you the pain and that agonizing feeling when you loose someone but you know he is still out there , hope that every one watch it and enjoy one more thing it shows how all the politicians are concerned about all their matters except the ones that they should worry about. Go see it if you didn't and you will burst in tears very touching very emotional very sincere feelings !
