Dekken (L’échoppe)
Since leaving Syria 8 years ago, Ahmad has been running a small shop in the high mountains of northern Lebanon, in Bcharré, my village. This place has many facets. It turns out to be a point of gravity on the village square and proves to be a "crossroads" for the inhabitants, a closed place that nevertheless opens to the outside.
