A House Near the Sun

2023 · 11 min

In the city of Kobane, after the ISIS attack of June 2015 (the Black Night), a tailor continues to sew, hoping that his customers will return. He talks to his wife and daughter, who were victims of the massacre—he keeps their bodies in a locked room. Finally he decides to destroy a wall and let the sun shine on their bodies, hoping that light will overcome the darkness.
