A few nigella seeds tucked in the palm of her hand, 6-year-old Dounia leaves Aleppo with the Princess of Aleppo’s help and travels towards a new world.
Why we like it: Despite the film’s serious subject and the horror that threatens Dounia, this tender story can only be described with the most beautiful words for its humanity. It finds humor and optimism in everyday moments and opens a window to the world and our societies, using as a tool the magic of Arabian myths and traditions.
