The story of one family's fight and struggle to survive the Syrian Civil War. Having lost her husband, the mother makes the heart achingly painful decision to leave her homeland, in search of safety and a brighter future for her children. Filmed over three years, the film chronicles the family's journey from the front-line in Aleppo, to a little town in Germany. Escaping the chaos and terror of their war torn homeland becomes a catalyst for a different kind of struggle; the struggle to understand your past and accept your present, to adapt to a new life, to hold on to hope, and the idea of belonging to a homeland.

Nominated for an Oscar as Best Documentary Short. The concentric circles eminating away from war take us from Alepo to a little town in Germany. A family's struggles and then decision that the Father should stay and fight, facing an uncertain future, while the Mother and 4 children flee from the conflict. A story seen from the eyes of children and adults. A story worth telling and seeing. I give it a 10 out of 10. I'm a Canadian and I try to watch all of CBC (our national broadcaster)'s _Passionate Eye_ which features documentaries from all over the world. This is how I saw this important film.
