Description
In 2011, the peace of the Syrian city of Homs is disturbed by protests and shelling. A young girl, Nour, is forced to flee across the Levant and North Africa in search of safety. Eight hundred years earlier, Rawiya, disguised as a boy and apprenticed to a famous mapmaker, sets out on an epic quest to chart the globe, following the very same route. In this story, the tales of the two heroines coming of age in perilous times intertwine, shedding light on a country in turmoil, human resilience and the power of stories.
