Make it stand out.

Amal

It is the year 2020 in Aleppo, Syria in an abandoned school yard on Zahraa street. Bassam, a 30 year old father, sits with his young 10 year old daughter Amal inside of a tent. They are asleep, and in the background is the sound of bombs that can be heard from outside of the tent. Amal gets up at the sound of a large explosion that seems as though it is near. Afraid, she turns to her Dad (Bassam) and begins to shake him awake. Bassam gets up, he looks to her and lets out a small sigh. He has found himself outside of the bliss of sleep and within the dark reality of this world. He looks at his daughter and sees that she is afraid, he goes over to grab a radio that lies next to her and begins to play a game in order to make his daughter believe that what she is hearing is merely all apart of a game.
