Time Out 22

Overview

Through the lens of a Syria scarred by twelve years of war, the 2022 World Cup sparks flickers of joy, tension, and memory. Football becomes both refuge and battleground – a game that binds and divides, stirring questions of identity, loyalty, and loss. As cheers rise for distant nations, the dream of local pride hangs in the air like smoke. In living rooms and cafés, the screen offers escape – and reveals a fractured nation searching for something to hold onto.
