In a besieged Damascus, Oum, a mother of three, is trapped in her house. But she has transformed it into a secure place for her family and neighbors. As time passes, bombs threaten the building’s safety, snipers turn courtyards into danger zones—and burglars break in to claim rewards.

Winner of the Panorama Audience Award at Berlinale, this chilling drama is a remarkable reminder of the effects that war has on ordinary people. The extraordinary cast, led by a masterful performance from Hiam Abbass (Blade Runner 2049), bring remarkable emotion to a suspenseful chamber drama.
