A Syrian Love Story follows a Syrian couple, their family, and the upheaval of the civil war through the intimate lens of director Sean McAllister. The film traces their tenderness, loyalty, and quiet resilience as love is tested by displacement, bombardment, and the collapse of daily life. With patient, fly-on-the-wall cinematography, it foregrounds personal stakes over headlines, offering a humane ledger of courage, fear, and fragile hope in a country torn apart by conflict.
