synopsis

A unique documentary study takes us into Syria where, for a period of over four years, we observe the lasting friendship of art students Saeed and Milada. They moved to the rebel town of Douma and record everything they see around them. We experience not only their struggle with hunger, but also the desire for art and so much wanted freedom.

biography

Ghiath Ayoub (1989) studied fine arts at the University of Damascus and worked on a joint project with Saeed Al Batal (1988), who was originally a journalist, photographer, and radio announcer.
