Jonas begins his journey in the midst of the pandemic: travel routes are closed overnight; border crossings become a feat of strength, presenting him with unforeseen challenges. On top of that, he grapples with the impact of humanity's ecological footprint in nature and the way climate change affects our planet earth. [35 IDFA Docs for Sale]

When Tamer Alawam was killed by a grenade in 2012, he left over 300 hours of film footage of the Syrian Revolution – images, which were meant to show Syria from inside. Overwhelmed by the flood of these images and driven by feelings of grief, responsibility and powerlessness, two young filmmakers and friends of Tamer in far away Germany start their own search for answers. While one of them meets with Tamer's companions to find out more about the motivations of his friend, the other begins collecting reactions in German society towards the war in Syria. A documentary about humanity, responsibility and the difficulties of finding the right way of action.
