Brief Explanation

We’re at Downtown Beirut near martyr’s square by the architectural icon: “The Egg”. We see Mr. Lonely standing in front of the building carrying a sign that reads: “Save our shared culture”. A row of buses park around the square to release a herd of protestors grunting, yelling, and chanting cacophonously as they protest their own political causes, paying no attention to Mr. Lonely’s cause. The protesters are carrying signs that reference political parties. The crowds chant about. While Mr. Lonely continues to take a stand for heritage, we see the very building he is hoping to save being demolished by a bulldozer! He continues to protest, and so does the raging crowd in front of him.
