The lives of two young boys from starkly different worlds collide amidst the chaos of the Syrian civil war. Hasan, the wealthy son of a police officer, lives in a luxurious villa and hopes to become a surgeon in the future. He tries to keep his privileged life a secret as he is aware he is indirectly complicit in the suffering of many people. Jamal, on the other hand, is living in a simple neighborhood, his dreams filled with promises of democracy, a future where freedom reigns and his father to finally come back home. In order to continue fighting for freedom and human rights, Jamal wants to become a journalist. Together, they experience a war-torn society, where laughter is silenced and dreams are stolen.
