The Sage
The film's events take place in present-day Syria, about a doctor living in a remote rural town, who devotes his time and energy to serving its people with his professional and life experiences, acting as a "The sage" to them on both the professional and social levels. During his granddaughter's visit, he will face a personal ordeal that will reveal the social deterioration caused by the war and its repercussions on people's destinies, behaviors, and morals. Will he stand alone in his ordeal despite all he has given to those around him? This is a bet that the film "The sage" will answer after a series of exciting challenges and events.
