screenplay by Tawfik Sabouni and Laurine Estrade.
With the support of the CNC (FAIA), Region Normandie, Wallonie Bruxelles.
Several years after my release from the Syrian prisons of 248 and Saidnaya, I decide to reclaim the memory of my captivity. I invite four other survivors, who endured the same prisons as I did, to speak out. Together, we remember, we reconstruct the events.
Tortured, denied our humanity while we were imprisoned, the experience of filming becomes a collective, polyphonic testimony, constantly questioning how to represent violence.
How do we tell the story of what happens on the other side of the sun?
