Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

One young Lebanese voter is checking (choosing) his representative on the ballot paper. Before submitting his vote, he decides to do it differently. He firmly folds the ballot paper and transforms it to an origami pistolet. After reloading his weapon, we see him along with a group of voters from different ages, sects, backgrounds, aiming and shooting on several targets representing chronic national problems.

Cultural/Context information for the jury.

Lebanon, the country of conflicts is currently polarized over "The legitimacy of the weapon". First point of view believes in the legitimacy of the weapon carried by Hezbullah (a resistance Lebanese party). Whereas the second point of view believes that illegal weapons have led to major problems in Lebanon. Hence, weapons should be exclusively in the hands of the Lebanese state. Kataeb (a democratic Lebanese Party) who supports the second point of view, is inviting all Lebanese to use their legal weapon which is their democratic vote.
