MASKOON by director Liwaa Yazji explores the Syrian people’s relationship with their homes and what it means to flee a war. Yazji meets friends and people previously unknown to her at their homes. Domiciles where they live now, or where they are yet to live. When the bombs arrive, their first instinct is to run away. Later, they remember that they didn’t bid farewell to their homes, memories, photographs and identity of a life passed. What is a home – in a physical and in a metaphorical sense? And how do they feel when they are forced to leave?
