Summary :
Set in the industrial suburbs of Beirut, MAJNOUNAK portrays three marginals, who very openly relate the beginning, middle, and end of their sexual relationships. The video explores the image of the masculine that the three boys try to pass on to many other young men of their age. The shaping of the body, the verbal sexual language, songs and signs become elements that articulate the boys' fantasies. The stories start with seduction and end after screwing. The boys' identity is quite similar to the stereotypes they see on TV or in video games. The image they want to project of themselves in front of the camera is courageous and seductive. In such a context, desire becomes a commodity and relationships are a failure.
