Between Wars – Flight and Return to Damascus

A film about home, memory, and the power of humanity

As a child, Samir Shalabi witnessed the bombing of Belgrade. As a teenager, he found a new home in Damascus – until war caught up with him once again.

Between Wars follows Samir on his emotional return to Syria. The documentary takes us to the places of his youth – some bring a smile to his face, others awaken memories he had long suppressed. On a park bench in Damascus, an entire life unfolds – between two wars.
