Al-Farazdaq Dayoub

On the run from his past and his community, Jaber becomes a fugitive and assumes the identity of a sacred heir—setting off a ruse in a forgotten village awaiting a saviour to revive its will to endure.

When the honourable officer Moussa discovers that his siblings are counterfeiting dollar bills, he’s caught in a moral trap: either let them face the criminal underworld or take the reins of a dirty game to shield them.

The story is set in a fiery period at the end of the 19th century in a tense atmosphere charged with the premonitions of the First World War. After Assi Al-Zand's discharge from military service and his return to his village on the banks of the Orontes river, he is caught up in a series of conflicts and conspiracies involving the region's leading political figures.

The film tells the story of Sabria (the protagonist), who suffers from the male mentality in society during the period from the days of the Great Syrian Revolution until the 1940s, and depicts the Syrian woman’s attempt to achieve her freedom and equality with men.
