The Valley of Exile
Aflam Festival
By Anna Fahr (Canada / Lebanon, 2023, 1:46)
Rima and Nour have fled the conflict ravaging their city, Damascus. We are at the beginning of the Syrian civil war, and Rima is pregnant with a man who must join them to start a new life. As they are welcomed by a refugee family in a camp in the Bekaa, the film follows them as they take their first steps on the road to exile.
