Roads of Ithriyah
Ahmad, a Syrian militant, wakes up concussed in the desert after an explosion and can’t remember what side of the war he was fighting for. As he survives the walk to a safe outpost called Ithriyah, he discovers a small vial of perfume in his pocket that triggers memories of his mother and sister. The memories begin to paint a picture of uncomfortable truths of his past and set him on a collision course against his current self.
