A lesson about how much we like to listen to stories and watch them. Even if it is unlikely that individual sequences are related to each other. We close the gaps in the dramaturgy and recognize places and faces, and are willingly taken along on the journey from Syria to England. A poetic film created with found footage of hundreds of videos from Syrian mobile phones, creating a personal journey into the thoughts of a refugee and back to his lost home country.
