Synopsis
From her room in Paris, in exile, seven years away from Syria, Sara Kontar records phone conversations with her father, who remained alone and is haunted by the ghosts of the past and a lost future. He describes the country to her, his solitude, his pain. She films this screen that connects and separates them, her only window of communications. Her memories fade every day, her life severed, her homeland unreachable.
