A DAY LESS THAN ORDINARY IN THE CITY OF DAMASCUS

What does an ordinary day look like in a city carrying extraordinary memories?

In Obada Alhammami’s documentary, Damascus becomes a portrait of everyday life — where getting used to it reflects the contradictions between love and loss, life and death.

Notes on a Return to Syria follows the Syrian famous actor Mohammad Al Rashi in his journey back to a country shaped by war, memory and profound change — where familiar places carry new meanings, and returning becomes a way of confronting both the past and the possibility of what comes next.

A film about memory, belonging, loss and return.
