The initial idea of the film started as an attempt to collect insights from Syrian artisans to understand the difficulties resulting from the conflict. It became obvious how meaningful it would be if these artisans had the chance to address people directly. The result was an inspiring story of beauty, hope and determination. Their mission to preserve these time-honored traditions deserves to come through.
