Syndicado Film SalesBefore Father Gets Back is coming of age film in a society infected by radicalism, where most people are in constant fear of their loved ones sacrificing their lives in Syria.
In a darkened classroom, the white cracked walls serve as a movie screen. We are in a remote mountain village of Georgia. The light from the projector breaks the darkness: the kids' first cinematic experience is about to begin.
Among them are Iman and Eva, two Muslim girls for whom the experience becomes a turning point and inspires them to take the camera and start filming their daily lives.
The girls are growing up in a valley infested by radicalism, where the outside world of radical Islamization tries to keep them down and where they are living in a fear of their relatives sacrificing their lives in the name of God.
Many films have described the Jihadists and their violence, but none have given a voice to the families left behind.
