In Siria, alle porte di Damasco, la città ribelle di Daraya è alle corde per l'assedio implacabile dell'esercito di Assad. Un inferno che dura da quattro lunghissimi anni, scanditi dai bombardamenti con i barili esplosivi, gli attacchi con il gas, la morsa della fame che stringe gli abitanti isolati.

Réunis plus ou moins télépathiquement pour une mission de la plus haute importance amusante : s'émerveiller suffisamment fort pour que le bleu de la flamme de leurs souvenirs d'enfance puisse éclairer vos nuits.
