He has left his Syrian homeland, but cannot escape from a recurring nightmare. How deep into the past do the roots of a trauma reach?
A wild pursuit with footsteps closing in; even as you approach your home, it moves away from you. This is a recurring nightmare, shared by many Syrians who have fled their homeland. At night they find themselves back in their hometowns, forever running, chased by invisible men, seeking a safe place they can never reach. The film dives into this nightmare to examine where the trauma stems from.
YAZAN RABEE (b. 1994 in Syria) fled to the Netherlands in 2016. Six years later he graduated from film school. In his work, which spans everything from fiction to documentary, he chooses to focus on mentally and socially damaged persons, often drawing from his own memories and dreams.
