We've been on the Syrian-Lebanese border since early morning

The Syrian crisis seems to be getting worse

especially after reports of the fighting escalating

in the capital Damascus

Not to mention the rest of the regions especially the border ones

Innocent women, men and children

are leaving their homes schools and playgrounds

in search of safety, in search of life

Don't be scared!

Let's go

Can I please get my and my kids' passports stamped at the same window?

Unfortunately, no you have to wait for a while

because the place is crowded as you can see

- Thank you - You're welcome

I'm not as strong as you

and I can't take it anymore

I'm worried about the kids and about you

I'll be waiting for you to join us, Hazem

Because I'm not coming back

Don't be upset with me

I love you

Good morning!

Good morning

I'll make coffee, so you won't be late

I took the day off

Don't you want to work today?

Of course I won't be working today

I'll get you Shawarma on my way back

Sharara!

Work harder

The sales have considerably declined in the last few weeks

Alright

- Where's your Mom? - Inside, come in!

- Hello, Aunt! - Hello, dear!

Mom says don't be late in delivering the order to her

I won't be late, God willing tell her I said "Hi"

I will

Bring these things inside! Where are you going?

To work

Sawsan, where are you going?

- It's none of your business - Why are you talking like that?

Are you okay, honey?

Don't worry about it

Easy, Mia, or you'll hurt your hand!

Honey! Isn't Silla's birthday in a few days and we're throwing her a party

- and inviting her friends? - Yes

I was thinking of holding a small party for the hospital staff

as a nice gesture

Thank you

It'll also be get-together since I've been in charge of the hospital for a while

So how about we hold both parties together?

Silla's birthday and the hospital staff's party?

I don't know

I don't think Silla will like the idea

I'm sure she'll like it

She likes sitting with adults to feel like an adult

Okay, nice idea

and she is your daughter who you spoil all the time

- Your coffee is incredibly delicious! - Of course it is

- Bye - Bye

Do you want me to make you anything else before I leave?

I left you my car keys and I'll take a taxi

Your car repair should be done so I'll go to the shop to get it

If you decide to go out please take good care of yourself

Please, Mia, okay?

I'll be on call tonight at the hospital

Why?

Because Rafi asked me to take his shift

Tell him to find someone else

Today in particular, tell him to find someone else

How is today different from any other day?

You're asking how it's different?

It's not different to me, Mia

This date is not important to me

Because every day I had throughout all these years

I felt the same pain and bitterness we've endured

We've both endured it

What could I have done that I did not do?

You could've helped me and stood by my side

I'm helping you and standing by your side, Mia

But not everything is only about you

There may be someone who's hurting as much as you and even more, Mia

But life will go on eventually, right?

Go so you're not late for the life that's waiting for you to go on

I can't stand this anymore, Shams! Please shut it already!

MIA ZREIK Our kids, Zein and Shams...

were with me in the car when we crossed the Syrian-Lebanese borders on 15/3/2012

and they disappeared after the accident.

If anybody knows anything about them, please contact me

Yes, Mia?

Yes, sweetie?

No, I have nothing to do when I'm done

Did something happen?

Okay! But you're making me worried! Anything happened?

No, I'm fine! I just want you to come with me. I don't want to go alone

Don't tell Hazem anything I don't want him to find out

Okay, I'll finish work and come to you so we can go together

Okay, bye!

Come on, guys! Someone take this phone!

What's wrong, Mia?

I don't get it

Why all this secrecy about coming to a neurologist?

Why don't you want Hazem to know?

Because it's no big deal

Okay, since it's no big deal

why did you keep telling me in the car not to tell him

and to be careful not to let it slip?

Are you hiding something from me?

Mia? Please tell me if there's something serious

You know you can count on me

Of course I'm counting on you that's why you're here with me now

It's just that I can no longer concentrate well while driving

I feel like I have a nerve problem because my hand keeps trembling

and suddenly, I can't control it

I don't want to tell Hazem because he won't understand

He'll just blame me

that I don't get enough food or sleep, I get angry a lot and so on

- You know him - Okay, calm down

Calm down now

We must be reassured first

- Mrs. Daoud, come on in - Yes!

Come in!

Hi, honey!

I'm at the TV station

Yes, everything is fine

I missed you

Try to keep them steady!

Close your eyes now

then touch your nose and return to the same position

Close your eyes and try to stand on your right foot

For as long as you can

One last thing, close your eyes and try to walk in a straight line

Only three steps, I'm right here

Good. You can have a seat

Do you consume more caffeine than normal?

No, the normal amount

Do you usually drink alcohol, Doctor?

Do you smoke?

- No - Okay

Are you on any type of narcotic medication or sedatives?

No!

Give me a special one

Police, guys!

Police!

Are you still feeling tired?

No, I'm fine

Hazem is calling for the second time

I'll make you some tisane

Hello!

No, I'm home and Alyssar is here

I'll go get the car then I'll go back to the hospital

I'll come home when I'm done

Shall I bring you anything with me?

Just bring food with you

so you can have dinner with Alyssar because the fridge is empty

Okay, deal

- Bye now - Bye

Do you think they're getting enough food and sleep?

Are they still together or something separated them?

I don't know what to answer you

But at least if they're...

I mean, if they come back

Don't you wish to be completely healthy?

So you can take care of them!

Mia!

- Please take care of yourself! - There is no "if"

I have no doubt that they will come back to me

I calculate how tall each of them has become each year and draw a new mark

Every day...

I close my eyes and think

about what could've hurt them the most since we've been separated?

My sweet Shams!

Since birth, she's been nosy strong and fearless

And Zein...

He doesn't like causing trouble at all and he's very peaceful

He's very kind-hearted, may God protect him

I miss them

I miss them

I'm confident that I'll see them again

Right?

Absolutely

Stop here, please!

Thank you

- Sorry! - It's okay!

- How are you, Waheed? - Hello, Doctor

Welcome, Doctor!

- Welcome - Hello, Mr. Adel

Go to your Mom now, dear

- Come on in, Doctor - Go ahead

Tell me, how is it?

It's all good and better than you think

So, you found the source of the leak?

There was a small leak but we fixed it, don't worry

- Great, thank you - Thank you, Doctor, God bless you

- How much is the bill, Mr. Adel? - What bill is it?

Don't say that! We owe you so many favors, Doctor

I can't accept that this is for your trouble

God bless you

What is it, Doctor? Is something wrong?

No, but I can't find my wallet!

Could you have forgotten it in the taxi?

No, I paid for the taxi and put it back in my pocket, I think!

Is it possible that I dropped it?

Come, Waheed, where are you going?

Waheed!

No, bring the goods to my house

Yes, that is better and safer

Bye

- Hello - I see you came back early, Sharara!

They raided us and I had to run away

- Give me the wallet - What wallet?

Doctor Hazem's wallet! I saw you take it with my own eyes

- What's the matter, Waheed? - Uncle! Tell him to return the wallet!

Doctor Hazem brings aid and distributes it to the neighborhood

So? Is he buying us by giving charity to the neighborhood?

Besides, I didn't take it

The jacket you're wearing is from the aid he gives away

Shame on you!

Enough! Let him go!

Go look somewhere else, go

- Fine! - I'll show you, Waheed, you bastard

You idiot!

How many times have I told you not to do such things like this in here?

You've exposed us!

Give me the wallet!

Give me the wallet!

Idiot!

What did Waheed want? Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong

Why did you upset Naseem today?

Didn't I ask you not to hit him again?

It's for his sake, so he'll be a man

Raising him is my responsibility not yours

I'll raise him, and your job is only to take care of him

How long will you keep causing trouble and scandals in the neighborhood?

How do I take care of him without causing trouble?

May God forgive me!

Come here, Waheed!

- Where were you? - At Sharara's house

I saw him when he took Doctor Hazem's wallet

What? Are you sure?

I saw him with my own eyes, Boss

Is this the wallet?

Yes, this is it

Why are you accusing the boy?

This is shameful, Adel! We are neighbors

It's alright

Next time

keep your kids away from anyone related to me

Understood?

Go on now, leave!

Here you go, Doctor

Please pardon us

It's okay, Mr. Adel I don't want to cause you any problem

But...

- Tell me, who are these people? - Don't worry about them

They're just kids, don't worry

It's insignificant

Okay, how much do I owe you?

I swear I won't accept a single penny

Isn't what happened enough?

Besides, we owe you so many favors Doctor, so don't worry about it

This is just like you, Mr. Adel

- Waheed is a brave young man - Thank you

- Bye now - Goodbye, Doctor

After World War II

Germany was divided into two states

The Capitalist West Germany

the capital of which is Bonn

and the Socialist East Germany

the capital of which is Berlin

- And on October 3rd... - Here!

What are you reading?

About Germany after World War II

Looks like you've really grown up!

EMERGENCY

DR.HAZEM DAOUD CARDIOVASCULAR SURGEON

Enough, stop working!

Just a Moment, honey I'm just finishing up something

What are you doing?

There's an annual evaluation of the hospital staff

I'm reviewing some files

Doctor George head of the medical department

suggested that we give some surgeons a raise

- Like Doctor Hazem? - Yes

This surgeon is an asset to us

We don't want him to be tempted by any offer from another hospital

You always know the best way to think and act

Come on, are you ready?

Ready for what?

Didn't you promise me we'd watch a movie together tonight?

Leave it for another day dear, you have an exam tomorrow

After that, you can do anything but now, keep studying

I'm tired, Mom and I want a break just for an hour

Sweetie all your hard work will be in vain

- Shall we, Dad? - Let me finish my work, dear!

- Let's go! - Only one hour!

Then you'll go back to studying

- Here you go! - Thank you, dear!

I always wear you out

What wearing out!

Please, Mia! Be strong like you were before

Be like you were before, take care of yourself and take care of Hazem

You can't stay like this

I'm fine, don't worry about me

And Hazem doesn't need me

He knows how to control his emotions

So, no matter what happens...

he only keeps his focus on his job more than anything else

Believe me, he can live under the most difficult conditions and move on

Therefore, he'll move on with or without me

Be it with me or with someone else

What? What are you saying?

Do you think I'm stupid and don't know that there's another woman?

What? How?

Do you know who she is?

It doesn't matter

What matters is that I know

Are you saying that based on some proof or are you just saying it?

Alyssar!

No woman needs proof to feel and know that her husband is cheating on her

Sadly, I have to go now

Mia!

Get these thoughts out of your head as they're just an illusion

You're tiring yourself out even more

Where are you going? Hazem is about to arrive and he's got dinner too

Maybe another time, dear

I'm very tired and I have a long day of shooting tomorrow

But we'll talk later, okay?

- Good luck tomorrow - Thanks

Oh, my God!

- Hello, Alyssar? - Where are you, Hazem?

Mia knows

Knows what?

That you're having an affair

What?

What are you saying, Alyssar?

Does she know with whom?

- I won! - You're such an idiot!

How did you win? It's not right the colors are different

You told me there must be four sequential numbers

Of the same kind! Concentrate!

I defeated you again!

Damn it! How did you become so smart all of a sudden?

Do you know how smart I am now?

Play again, come on now!

But with a condition this time

If I won, you'll buy me shawarma for a week with your own money

Do you think I own a bank?

I'll buy you only once if you win

- And if I win, what will you give me? - I'll lend you my new sweater

Only for once!

You're here?! What are you doing?

I'm trying to make him smarter

Listen, your uncle is coming tomorrow morning with the guys

we're going to help them move some goods

Okay

And you!

When will you start working and helping us?

Or will you keep wasting all your time loitering around?

Listen, take him with you to work tomorrow morning

Maybe then he'll be a man

What are you doing?

Nothing! I just came to eat some food

and I cut my foot on a shard of glass on the floor

Thank God you're okay! Are you hurt?

No, I'm not. I'm sorry for waking you

but I was afraid that you'd come here in the morning and hurt your foot too

Sorry, honey

For what exactly?

I don't get it!

What do you mean?

I don't mean anything

Try to say everything you have to say for once

without making me feel like there's something hidden behind each word

What difference does it make whether or not I say it?

I've been saying it for 12 years Mia, but you wouldn't listen

You're not listening

Now you want me to say it?

You want me to say it, so you can solidify the image you made up in your head?

That only you made up!

About the emotionless husband!

The cruel husband to the grieving mother!

The sad wife, the victim who alone has the right to grieve

get angry, throw blame and be tired?

Only her?

I'm sorry

For what?

Good night

Hazem!

Do you still love me?

Of course I do!

Of course what?

Of course I love you

I never stopped loving you for a single day, Mia

When I keep trying to get our life and relationship back to normal

and when I don't give up trying to convince you all the time

to give me and yourself a chance to start over

This only means one thing

That I love you

Right?

I love you too

But I want us all to be together

I can't forget

I don't want you to forget

I don't want to forget either

But we tried everything

We followed every lead to the end

And now...

If there's any information we could get

we'll follow it as well, Mia

But you believe my feeling that they're still alive, right?

But I...

I don't want us to keep living in an illusion

I like to imagine that they're...

living a happy life

Even if God's will was that we won't find them

But we need to think of ourselves as well

I promise I'll try to be strong

But you also have to promise me not to give up

and to keep searching for them with me until the last day of our lives

Why so negative!

We won't find them until the last day of our lives?

What's wrong, Mia?

Someone sent me a text on Messenger

Good evening, Doctor I may have some information

regarding your post about your kids

And?

He also sent a voice message!

Hello, Doctor!

I read your post about your kids I hope they return safe and sound

and I may have information that could be very useful to you

My neighbors have a daughter who is 13 or 14 years old

and turns out she's not their real daughter

The man took her from an accident that happened in 2012 and kept her

If this information interests you and you'd like to know more about it

send me your number

I'll call you so we can talk and work it out

- Who is he? - I don't know!

He's not even on my friends list

- I'll send him my number - Wait! Hold on!

Didn't you hear him? "I'll call you so we can talk and work it out"

So, he may just want money, like many before him

What do we have to lose?

He may have information that could actually help us

Didn't you just promise me that you won't give up and you'll keep trying?

I haven't given up! I'm just saying that we should be reasonable and calm

So we don't go through what we went through before

when someone read a post on your social media accounts

gathered some information about you and wanted to scam you

You're right

He may be a scammer, but at the same time, I can't ignore what he said

I'm afraid to ignore it this time

and it turns out be the time that will lead me to my kids

Right, you're right

But if he has useful information he'll text you again
