Amid the tumultuous spring of 2011, Sana, a literature student captivated by Renaissance poetry, is thrust into the heart of Syria's Arab Spring. What begins as quiet contemplation over Shakespeare's words soon becomes a fight for survival as protests sweep the nation, turning her city into a battleground. Forced to abandon her studies, Sana joins an underground network of medics, working alongside Dr. Imad to save lives amid relentless bombings and sieges. Through unimaginable violence and loss, she faces moral and physical challenges that transform her into an unbreakable force. But when tragedy strikes the field hospital, shattering her world, Sana must grapple with the haunting question: will hope ever overcome despair? This gripping tale of courage, resilience, and the power of human connection serves as both a searing account of war and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who fight for freedom.
