Media reports show how the wall, which surrounds the Shiite quarter in Bagdad, is painted with beautiful landscapes. Aesthetic creation is used to cover military measures and war effects. In my film I proceed in a similar way: pictures from crisis zones are changed, darned and covered with colours. A deceitful idyll develops, which can not be kept up in view of the real (war-) situation. The film points to actual beauty in an area, in which the mythological paradise is to be located and which wakes (European) dreams of the Orient, yet which is now a scene of war and terror. It also questions whether military interference can be the suitable means to achieve this goal.
