A Very Quiet City

" A Very Quiet City " (2024), is a short documentary film that portrays daily life in the city of Homs, which suffers from a difficult reality after years of conflict and an exaggerated state of calm.

 
The film showcases scenes and experiences that reflect feelings of alienation and separation, as it seeks to capture the sense of loss that many young people in their city experience, and how calm can transform into a burden when accompanied by slow change and a loss of hope for the future.
