SYNOPSIS:
The documentary was born from the meeting of two authors, Ruben Lagattolla and Filippo Biagianti. Lagattolla, after a long experience as a documentary filmmaker in refugee camps in Iraqi territory with the agency EPOS. In May 2014 managed to enter Syria from the Turkish border with the help of an Italian photographer, Enea Discepoli, who had already been several times in Syria. Once across the border with the support of some media Syrian activists, the group manages to reach Aleppo. The intent is to tell the reality of Syria with a human and anthropologic approach, without falling into the rhetoric of religious belonging or the spectacle of war.
