Damascus Stories

On a bleak December day in war‑torn Damascus, 37‑year‑old Younis Hamada drifts through streets that have become a maze of scarcity and memory. With his wife and kids having moved away, Younis finds his only companion in midnight prayers to a distant Allah, trying to smother the stone‑heavy loneliness that presses on his chest. A routine trip to Sharqia Bakery-once a simple chore, now a six‑hour pilgrimage for a single loaf-forces him to confront a city hollowed out by Bashar al‑Assad's iron fist. In the endless queue he meets Firas, a once‑cheerful shopkeeper now reduced to a hollow shell, and Kazim, the baker who guards his bread as tightly as his secrets. When a pair of orphaned children begs for a half‑loaf, Younis is faced with a choice that could shatter the fragile safety of his own hunger.
