The film tells the story of Lana who goes on a journey to reveal the destiny of her mother who disappears suddenly in the woods, leaving no trace behind but her name in a raindrop hanging on a branch. A passing deer holds it in the eyes and vanishes. Lana eventually discovers the secret of the imprisoned names and helps her mother. The story was created to highlight the issue of the arbitrary detention of civil activists by different actors. It symbolizes the Syrian society’s engagement and struggle for the release of prisoners of conscience.

This animation follows 2 children and a star-shaped character, inspired by Syrian architecture, whose parents were detained by Al Mukhabarat. As shadow puppets, they navigate loss, isolation, and social stigma alongside other affected familites. Fragile like the wind, they struggle until they unite with the star, symbolizing their identity and cultural roots. Together, they reclaim their right to know their loved ones’ fate and challenge political imprisonment. Inspired by stories from the Syrian Oral History Archive (SOHA), this narrative sheds light on the impact of political imprisonment on families, especially children. Powered by Dawlaty, SOHA amplifies the voices of ordinary Syrians — focusing on women and youth — to preserve memories of the 2011 uprising and its aftermath, shaping the justice agenda since 2016.
