In a world full of tension, Ismail Odeh, a Syrian construction worker, finds his only refuge on the rooftop of his house, among flocks of pigeons. He inherited this hobby from his father, and it has become a part of his daily life—a private sanctuary he cannot give up.
Despite the high cost of caring for the birds—exceeding 100,000 Syrian pounds per month which is around 8 US dollars—Ismail has no intention of stopping. For him, the rooftop is more than just a place to raise pigeons; it’s an independent world, a place that he escapes to after a long day amid the chaos of the city.
