Abstract: “There’s no such a thing as a good war” is what an elderly woman tells Turkish Cypriot soldier Bulut, in Lebanese artist Ali Cherri’s short film The Watchman (2023) — a statement that certainly doesn’t need more evidence today. She’s invited him indoors for a coffee during his daily patrol, and recounts the events of how she named a son after a fallen martyr, whose name appeared in the local newspaper. Afterwards, she became afraid that her son would be killed as well, and decided not to send him to the army.
