Synopsis
Does memory prevent the occurrence of violence?
Like a visual elegy, My Memory Is Full of Ghosts explores a reality caught between past, present and future in Homs, Syria. Behind the self-portrait of a population in search of normality, emerge memories of the city, haunted by destruction and loss. A deeply moving film, a painful echo of the absurdity of war and the strength of human beings.
In the presence of the director.
