<p>A beautiful film that weaves a tale of hope and magic through the eyes of a young girl. This heartwarming story follows six-year-old Dounia, who, armed only with a handful of magical nigella seeds and the wisdom of her ancestors, embarks on a courageous journey from her war-torn city of Aleppo in search of a new home. Alongside her grandparents, and guided by the mystical Princess of Aleppo, Dounia's adventure is filled with the rich stories and music of her culture, painting a vivid picture of her heritage. Carefully made to captivate audiences of all ages, the film addresses themes of displacement and resilience with honesty, heart and humour. A poignant reminder of the world's diversity and the shared dreams that connect us all, making it a perfect and timely film for families to watch and talk about together.</p>
