Chaos

The film narrates the story of three women in three different cities. They have given up on life. One lives in Damascus. She has stopped speaking to others entirely, isolating herself in her flat. The other has left Damascus as a result of the war and went to Sweden, where she imprisons herself in her paintings, hoping through them to rid herself of the torments of the past. The third ended up in Vienna and faces an unknown future, like the ghost of a woman who fled Austria after the Second World War. It is a conversation between the interior and exterior – an impossible conversation.

The director’s attentive and authentic gaze hence pay us back the otherwise invisible souls’ intimate and heartfelt portraits, defeated by a war that never belong them.
