This film is about a Syrian family life in a slum area. The family consists of the mother, Basima, who grew up in Italy, the father, Kareem and the child Mariam. The mother decorated her house with colors and dolls made of porcelain as if she wanted to create another world away from the gray buildings. The mother has breast cancer, and the chemical doses caused fractures in the vertebrate’s spine. The film shows how the father cares about his wife and daughter and the child trying hard to give hope to her mother.
