An unexpectedly hilarious, gentle and touching coming-of-age film set amidst the Syrian war in Damascus. It follows 14-year-old Zeina as she navigates falling in love with the boy next door in a war zone, all the while her mother and father face the dilemma of whether to stay or to leave and become refugees.

Delicately weaving lightness and magical realism among heart-breaking desolation, Soudade Kaadan’s Venice Film Festival award-winner offers a powerful and moving perspective on the Syrian conflict.

14-year-old Zeina and her family are the last to have stayed in their besieged hometown of Damascus in Syria. A missile rips a giant hole in their home, exposing them to the outside world. When a rope is mysteriously lowered into the hole, Zeina gets her first taste of freedom, and an unimaginable world of possibility opens up for her.

As the violence outside escalates, the family is pressured to evacuate, but Mutaz, her father is adamant that they stay, refusing to flee to the uncertain life of a refugee. Faced with a life or death dilemma, Zeina and Hala, her mother, must make the choice whether to stay or leave.

Certification: 12a
