Little Marwa has lived in a refugee camp since she fled Syria with her family. Dina Naser’s attentive gaze follows Marwa’s daily life, a cheerful, open spirit who understands neither walls nor bars. The passage from childhood to adulthood will bring her new challenges as she survives in a place where, in spite of everything, life goes on. Marwa has adapted to life in the camp, she has friends to play with and she goes to school. But when her older brother is questioned by the authorities about his association with extremist militants, she comes up against a new reality: her ‘settled’ life takes an enormous turn that makes her question some of her certainties. Over four years the protagonist’s charm, positivity and determination captivated the filmmaker, who saw in her an inspiring testimony of resilience, survival and hope. The harsh conditions in the camp have never bent Marwa’s will to build her own path.
