My Memory Is Full of Ghosts

After years of war, Homs no longer feels like the “city of smiles” it was once called. The camera, penetrating the ruins, and the memories of people who had to leave, take us there. Their thoughts about the war and the time after it describe the ambience of a specific place and the fate of a nation that wants to live again.

The lingering trauma is the thread connecting stories that create a melancholic portrait of Homs. Long shots add a distinctive rhythm, creating an almost hypnotic visual elegy about the absurdity of war and the power of human determination.
