SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amer and Ragda met in prison in Syria, where they were imprisoned as opponents of the Assad regime. 20 years and three children later, British filmmaker Sean McAllister enters their lives. Ragda is now back in prison. When she is unexpectedly released, everyone is overjoyed.
The family needs Ragda, especially her three-year-old son Bob. But there is no peace. McAllister is arrested and his film material is confiscated – with dramatic consequences: The couple have to move to Lebanon overnight with their children and end up in France. The film follows Amer and Ragda for five turbulent years. How they try to find their way as refugees
as refugees. How Ragda can hardly bear to watch her country sink into chaos from afar without being able to do anything. And how their relationship suffers as a result. A stirring story about flight and love in exile. (Filmfest Hamburg)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
