A return, a camera and a search for belonging. Photographs made in Syria in 2009–2010 become the starting point for a personal documentary.

Leo returned with a Canon film camera and began walking through Damascus and the places he remembered. In Sosyan, his family’s village, the photographs opened another kind of memory.

The film is being developed from photographs, recorded memories and video. Its structure follows the experience of returning, without forcing uncertain memories into an exact daily chronology.
