A press photographer retreats to Sicily after being held captive in Libya. But even here she cannot escape her trauma.
Synopsis
After the death of a colleague in the North African country, photographer Lee locks herself in a Sicilian hotel room, where she has also stayed in the past.
During her occasional walks, she meets Hafsia, a Tunisian woman who is a refugee there awaiting asylum. Hafsia bears a remarkable resemblance to a young woman Lee photographed during her time in Libya.
"The beauty and sadness of WAR STORY lies in its willingness to be terrifying, and its ability to be terrifying without raising the pulse." (ScreenAnarchy)
