Synopsis
From my room in Paris, in exile after seven years far from Syria, far from my father left alone, with the ghosts of the past and a lost future, I record our telephone conversations. He describes the country to me, his solitude, his pain. I film this screen that unites and separates us, my only window of communication. My memories fade daily, my life cut off, my country unreachable.

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
