Synopsis
Climate crisis, the ongoing war, water policies, and dam building across the border by the Turkish state are among the reasons contributing to the drying up of the Khabur River and the water crisis in the region. The film departs from Tell Halaf and follows the journey of its archeological collection towards Berlin, where it has resided since 1930. A magnifying glass observes the archival photographs of the excavation and deconstructs what has been framed. The excavated statues become the protagonists of the film, narrating the story.
