Dounia et la princesse d’Alep (Dounia and the Princess of Aleppo)
Marya Zarif / André Kadi, H264, 73 min
France / Québec, 2022 (French)

Midwest premiere

After losing her mother to the war, 6-year-old Dounia flees Aleppo with her family. Sustained by the music, cuisine, dances and stories of her Syrian culture, supported by the women of her entourage, and believing in the Princess of Aleppo, she holds onto a few magical nigella seeds as she journeys towards a new life.
