The film tells the story of an
eight-year-old girl, Tala, who is not allowed to leave her house due to Daesh controlling
the streets in
Syria. Her only contact with the outside world is her small
television, but her father gets rid of it in compliance with a Daesh law
banning televisions.
Tala’vision
Director Murad Abu Eisheh was inspired to write the story after coming across
an article about Daesh banning televisions in Syria in 2014. The film
highlights Tala’s struggle trying to live her childhood in a war zone.
Tala’s
character was played by 10-year old Aisha Balassem, who left Syria for Jordan a
few years ago. It was her first acting
experience.
The
film has won the Gold Student Academy Award and the Golden Yusr Award at
the
Red Sea International Film Festival.
