Falling Stars (2018)

Among the debris and dust of cities destroyed by war, Mahidi (10 years) finds a ball. He is afraid and he hides it. He is surprised by Fatima (9). Together build a solid friendship, even though she is Christian and he is Muslim. Dreams, hopes, memories are consumed in the long Arab nights. He dreams of being a great football player; she a dancer. The western world, meanwhile, insensitive and absent-minded, continues its frenetic life. In a day like any other, in which the words of Kofi Annan and the call to the prayer of the Muezzin intertwine, their dreams are broken by a dark shadow that darkens the sky and destroys everything. A fatal mistake, of those who should have protected them. Mahidi disappears into thin air and in Fatima all that remains is to remember. She can only imagine what would have been their life if.
