Directed by Paul Hage Boutros (Lebanon, 2011). Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2012.

Who is the boss? The director, thinking and self-assured or the camera, a mindless machine? A power struggle with unexpected results.

The video presents an encounter between a self-conscious being and a non-self-conscious object, whereby the director is engaged in a struggle with the camera in order to enslave it, only to find that this does not give him the expected control over the machine.
