dreams, hopes, disappointment that affect the day-to-day life of the inhabitants of a
small village in the mountains of Syria, are shown in the form of a comedy of human life.

region, but who venture forth with tradition and customs.The film is a love story as from
short stories that intertwine to show small facts in day-to-day life in the village.
