In war-torn Syria, a 23-year-old fine arts student fights for her life to witness her graduation day after she is severely injured by a missile that hits her house in Damascus only four days before her graduation date.
Ashtar’s indomitable spirit amid the chaos ignites a journey of survival and hope. As she navigates the challenges of her new reality, she finds solace in her studies, drawing strength from the dreams she refuses to relinquish.
