Directed by Liliana Marinho de Sousa

2016 – 88'

Synopsis

Daya Al-Taseh, a video activist group made up of 4 Syrian friends, are producing anti-ISIS satirical videos in Gaziantep, a city in south-eastern Turkey. Despite being threatened, the group doesn’t lose their humour to keep on with their dangerous work. After receiving concrete threats by what are apparently ISIS supporters, the group leaves for Istanbul, hoping to establish there a new satirical TV show. But facing unexpected events, barriers arise pressuring the group’s work, safety and friendship. Every one of them will be forced to decide how to continue and rebuild a stable private life, whether in Istanbul or elsewhere.
