A story of unlikely quests. A search for the disappeared through rubble and tortured bodies, a race for survival, and the possibility of hope.
Filmed for over 20 years in Syria and Germany, as well as in Turkey, Greece, Poland, Hungary, France, Spain and Iran, “Little Syria” follows the quest of a brother, his sister and her boyfriend, trapped between a Syria from which they ran for their lives, and a Europe which seems at times to embrace them and at others to push them back.
In the time of making of this film, more than 14 million Syrians have been forced to leave their homes. Syrians asked for asylum in more than 130 countries. Reem, Mohammed and Yasser try to make sense of what is left of the Syrian Revolution. “Little Syria” is a confidential insight into the invisible lives of Syrian refugees.
