DRAMA (SUBTITLES: KURDISH) - 124 MINUTES | VIRTUAL
Directed by Mano Khalil
Description: Set in the 1980s in a small Kurdish village in northeastern Syria, this film was inspired by the personal life story of the director. It comes to life through the eyes of its endearing young hero, Sero, a six-year-old whose vivid recollections transport us to a world both sad and beautiful, innocent and full of pain. Determined to eliminate all remnants of Kurdish cultural identity in his students, Sero’s new schoolteacher instills the tenets of Arab Ba’ath Party nationalism. While some of his classmates come to embrace their teacher’s enthusiasm for fascist ideology, Sero continues to dream of better ways to spend his time.
