In Damascus, a family is locked up in a house, while outside the area is being bombed and snipers lie in wait. Oum Yazan, the mother of three children desperately attempts to keep her family safe, waiting for her husband to come home. Meanwhile, the situation has escalated to such extent that neighbors and other family members are hiding in the apartment of Oum Yazan. Is it her husband who knocks or is it an enemy, threat or attack? The family lives in constant tension, fear, and danger.

Insyriated by director Phillipe van Leeuw shows a spectacle of people in an extreme situation that creates extreme emotions and behavior. Every decision is essential. Like the enemy’s prey they are trapped in a bunker that once was a loving home base.
