Abstract:
Spanning a century of Syrian history, the stories of three generations tell of the courage of lovers who risk death sooner than deny their passions in a country in which religion and politics continue to torment an entire people. It is a story of forbidden love set against the background of Arabic culture and endless feuds between clans.
