Obscure depicts the story of Ahmad — a Syrian child who doesn’t want to remember that he is Syrian. Ahmad wants to remain silent and sleepy, partly traumatized, half attempting to escape his world.
He takes us on a trip where individual and collective Syrian memories collide in his silence and unwillingness to speak.
