In Syria Page #2

---

- In the buffet.

Why are you so restless today?

Look at me. Tell me what's going on.

- I can't tell.

- Tell me.

Please don't, she has forbidden me.

Is it about the couple

from the apartment on the fifth floor?

- Do you promise not to tell anyone?

- Yes, good. Now tell me.

Halima's husband has been shot.

This morning in the parking lot.

- Here on the street?

- Yes.

- And you saw it?

- Yes.

- Is he dead?

- I think so.

- Who knows about it?

- Only the Madame and me.

Good.

Don't tell anyone, understood?

Is that clear?

Kareem, go into the living room,

if you just hang out.

I don't want you in the bedroom.

Come on, get out of here.

Help Delhani

to bring the remaining water.

What are you doing, darling?

You should study.

Grandpa is waiting for you.

Come on.

- Mummy?

- Yes?

- Why does Delhani say she dies?

- She doesn't die.

I don't want her to die.

Will you die?

- One day I will.

- Will Delhani be with you then?

Nobody will die.

The war is over soon.

Then we are all safe again.

And now get dressed and go to Grandpa.

Delhani?

- Mummy!

- Come along.

Watch out, father! Yara! Aliya!

Go to grandpa.

Close the windows!

Delhani, stuff wet cloth

under the doors!

- Are you all right?

- Yes.

Quick, Delhani.

Everything OK?

Aliya, my child, out there is war.

It will take a while longer.

Kareem, you should not

stay in the bedroom.

Look if you receive internet radio.

- What did you say?

- Nothing.

Liar. I know that you have

told my father-in-law.

Shut up, damn it!

- What do you want?

- Is everything OK?

Yes we're fine. Go away.

Do you need help?

Oum Yazan?

What's happening?

There were three men.

Two ran down,

one must have gone up.

That means nothing good.

I pray that he is just a scout.

May Allah hear you.

If he is a sniper,

we are lost.

I will wipe the dust,

then there is lunch.

- Yara!

- I receive a station.

Just got two car bombs

exploded in Mezze district,

in close proximity to the Ministry of Justice.

Incredible.

Half a kilometer away

drive cars with bombs,

and now we can not even

go outside the door.

- Did you reach your mother today?

- Yes.

She said she sends someone

who will bring me home.

It was irresponsible of you,

to put you in danger.

That affects us all.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

- It's not my fault. It's war.

- Oh yes?

According to official media reports

at least 20 people were killed.

Is everything OK?

I'm so afraid.

At the explosion

he wasn't even screaming.

I wonder,

if everything is right with him.

Thank you for taking care of me.

We will all die, right?

Are you going away?

Go now.

It is lunchtime.

Yara, come back right now!

Aliya, go get her!
