Storyline
Syria 2011. Between water outages and power cuts, all Sana dreams of is a hot shower. She doesn’t care about the Arab Spring; she has a nine-year-old son she needs to take care of, and an absent husband working in Saudi Arabia. She can’t even cook for her son since the country has been hit by a gas crisis. So she takes a day off and goes in search of a place to buy a gas cylinder. The road to the distributor is still very far away and she has to pass by people who lost their shadows, and graves in gardens. Three days later, Sana comes back with two cylinders of gas only to discover that they are useless.
