We are not princesses

DVD - 2020

Follows four Syrian women living as refugees in Beirut who are involved in a performance of the ancient Greek play, Antigone. Feminine wisdom, passed through the ages, connects the inner lives of a group of women providing them with a sense of belonging. Through intimate verite footage, the film illustrates that which is invisible to the eye: The thoughts, memories and dreams of these mothers, sisters and wives as they grapple daily with past traumas and future uncertainty.
