Story
Daraya is a town outside Damascus, the very spot where the Syrian Civil War began. Long a site of peaceful resistance to the Assad regimes, Daraya fell under siege in 2012. For four years, no one entered or left, and aid was blocked. Every single day, bombs fell on this place - a place of homes and families. And then a group searching for survivors stumbled upon a cache of books in the rubble. In a week, they had 6,000 volumes; in a month, 15,000. A sanctuary was born: a library where people could escape the blockade, a paper fortress to protect their humanity.

Story
In 2012 the rebel suburb of Daraya in Damascus was brutally besieged by Syrian government forces. Four years of suffering ensued, punctuated by shelling, barrel bombs and chemical gas attacks. People’s homes were destroyed and their food supplies cut off; disease was rife. Yet in this man-made hell, 40 young Syrian revolutionaries embarked on an extraordinary project, rescuing all the books they could find in the bombed-out ruins of their home town. They used them to create a secret library, in a safe place, deep underground.

Story
In Siria, alle porte di Damasco, la città ribelle di Daraya è alle corde per l'assedio implacabile dell'esercito di Assad. Un inferno che dura da quattro lunghissimi anni, scanditi dai bombardamenti con i barili esplosivi, gli attacchi con il gas, la morsa della fame che stringe gli abitanti isolati. Per reagire alla violenza del regime, alla mortificazione emotiva, al senso di sconfitta e terrore che pervade la popolazione, quaranta giovani volontari decidono di dedicarsi a cercare e mettere al sicuro migliaia di libri finiti sotto le macerie delle case e delle scuole.

Story
Qu'on se le dise, qu'on se l'enchante, par les temps qui courent en accéléré-à-reculons, s'adonner au merveilleux constitue un acte politique. Une escouade de résistants poétiques se sont mis à l'œuvre dans le plus grand secret. Réunis plus ou moins télépathiquement pour une mission de la plus haute importance amusante : s'émerveiller suffisamment fort pour que le bleu de la flamme de leurs souvenirs d'enfance puisse éclairer vos nuits.
