Filmed in Algiers during the Arab Spring, it refers to the situation of women in the Arab world and questions the idea of revolution. Here, it is a silent revolution, where the mute banners carry no slogans.

Cardboard boxes strewn along a pavement are seen to form a peculiar assemblage. From this fragile architecture, a woman emerges and makes a placard that contains no slogan; a wordless piece of cardboard. While raising the placard, the woman is joined by other women. A silent uprising is then set in motion. Can it be considered a revolution?
