A film by Batoul Karbijha
Netherlands, 2023

Batoul decides that making a film about what happened to her sister Maysoon is the only way to deal with a pain is so great that no one in her family can talk about it.

On 24 August 2014, 20-year-old Maysoon was on her way from Syria to Europe when her boat capsized. Of the 712 people on board, 488 were rescued, 24 where found washed up on the Italian shore, and the 200 people remaining have been missing ever since. Maysoon is one of them.
