Sensation of the 67th Berlinale International Film Festival and recipient of the audience award in the Panorama section. An important and necessary drama about the civil war in Syria, mentioned in one breath with the famous documentary "The Last in Aleppo."
The starring is the outstanding Israeli actress Hiam Abbass, whose international renown provided roles in such films as Tom McCarthy's "Meeting", Steven Spielberg's "Munich" or Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings. In 2017 Hiam Abbass could be seen in the super production, "Blade Runner 2049" by Denis Villeneuve.
The main character of the film is the mother of three children, imprisoned with her family in a building in Damascus, which is under constant observation of the sniper.
Closed in a claustrophobic space like a bunker, heroes can not leave the apartment during the day or at night. They risk even when they come to the windows or talk loudly. How to get food? How to survive another day? This is not a unique situation, it's a Syrian everyday life ...
