This piece shows a fragment of speech from a love story that involves longing and hope. The story unfolds through an intense exchange of messages, taunts, and suggestive notes between two ex-lovers who get back in touch after a hiatus of over ten years. The messages reveal an attempt at seduction as one seeks to lure the other into meeting again. Despite the fear, both their speeches convey the urgency that betrays the desire to see one another again. The image of the sunset at the end of the piece, and the date date written in camcorder – December 31, 1999 – heralds the coming of a new age that echoes the title’s promise: forget your tears, tomorrow everything will be alright. The video features references to Egyptian cinema and is dedicated to the French filmmaker Éric Rohmer.
