The Borrowed Dress

Grandmother Susu (80 years old), her daughter Doaa (50 years old), and her grandson Saad (16 years old) are forced to flee Syria after the beginning of the revolution to live in different scattered areas, with the one thing left to share being their desire to reunite. The details of their personal stories and human experiences are microcosms of two stories — one of a population that has spread all over the world, and the other of a homeland that might have changed forever.
