An embodiment of the true story as if it were a truth that made us feel every shot and our heart beat with every scene, and although we knew the end in advance, the actors were more than wonderful. Sara jumped out of the boat and proved that she is really a leading and generous personality. If it weren't for her, her sister wouldn't have reached her dream. This made me review myself from my eldest daughter and appreciate her more and not compare her with her younger sister only because she gets better results. Thank you very much for the movie. It made us appreciate everything and show Syrians with a new look and improve our behavior with our children.

My favourite scene is the party one too. It's just a very vivid picture that even though there is a very hard situation of Syria, not only does it raise awareness but also shows how people are not thoroughly moved by this event and want to live a normal life. Also even in the hardest of situations the human brain manages to "expel" all of these negative thoughts at the moment and make the best of it. The movie is very well made and is also a very nice story raising awareness for all of those war-torn countries.
