The Syrian conflict is one of the biggest tragedies of the 21st century and kids are the ones who suffered from the war
to the most extent. More than 80 per cent of Syria’s child population (8.4 million children) are affected by the war.

life of the protagonist alters instantly with the sudden war and he finds himself in a state of struggle. In the movie,
the war changes not only lives, but also the role of the box; first as a carefully built toy house, then as a place to
take shelter in a refugee camp with full of dangers and finally as a boat that sails for a journey towards hope.
Suriyeli bir çocuğun mutlu hayatı, savaşla birlikte aniden değişir ve kendisini mülteci kampında bin bir zorluğun

önce bir oyuncak, sonra bir barınak ve en nihayetinde bir bot…
