Synopsis
“The Roses of Damascus” is an image adaptation of a poem that evokes a current topic, witnessing the journey of a young Syrian in exile. It is the story of a man who seeks refuge. During his ceaseless walk he testifies of his journey : the country he left, the brutality of men, the lost hope.
He will give us an access to different memories related to his exile : the destruction of his city, migration, refugee camps, the arrival in a European city, etc.
