Synopsis
Fouad Elkoury likes to photograph traces, ruins, and that part of mystery, nostalgia and history that they carry. When in 2009, he discovers the disused Soviet bases, he photographs all of them: in Poland, Hungary, East Germany. Overgrown by nature, they remain haunted by the ghost of the Soviet army...
