A collective attempt to promote the right of usership over ownership.


The film departs from a collaborative project to shift the status of a private land in the North of Lebanon to a common or social waqf by promoting the right of usership over ownership. In doing so, the land would only be used for agricultural purposes by people who do not own land themselves. 


Following this collective attempt, the film shows how land inherently resists property. Both matter and land testify to a certain history of non-ownership where geology, history, law and agriculture connect toward an ecology of communalisation and rehabilitation.
