Englische Zusammenfassung des Films:
My mandatory military
service was done. I was then held in the army reserve with the revolution in my
country. I was stuck for a whole year, waiting for my discharge, with no hope
in sight.
My military rank was
sergeant. I was assigned to run Bassel AL Assad theatre that hasn’t
screened a film in 15 years. I go back to my house in the middle of Damascus,
take off my military suit to return to my city and to my normal life. I work
with my friend Mohammed Malas on his feature film as an assistant director.
I hold my small camera and
try to document our daily activities where all the technicians, mainly from the
opposition, tell me their stories.
Some of them had their
houses shelled, some of them emigrated and doesn’t know where they are going next
and some of them had their friends killed and their families displaced.
I got back home, sit and
watch the news about destruction, violence, shelling… The sun rises a new, I
wake up once more to start a new day, and proclaim my insurgence from the official
army, and refrain from joining the free Syrian army or other engaged army in
combat upon this planet, and that is due to my desire for Freedom and peace.
The only weapon which I can carry in this life is my camera.
