AS WE CROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GARDEN, d. Ameen Abo Kaseem – PS/SY | FIlm Screening

Cinema Union Strada Ion Câmpineanu 21, București

In late 2018, the war in Damascus ended, and life seemed to be going back to normal. We had hopes for a better future, but reality quickly hit – the economy collapsed, jobs disappeared, and survival became the focus. After years of war and loss, we stopped caring about the future and just lived day by day. This is the story of ordinary people trying to survive, love, have fun, and make the most of what little we have. We're all connected, sharing a dream of a better life with basic comforts like electricity, food, and safety.
