En mai 2012, ont eu lieu les "élections libres" annoncées par le président Bashar al-Assad. La promesse faite à son peuple par le jeune chef d'État syrien n'a pas été tenue. Rapidement, les manifestations pacifiques, durement réprimées par le régime, se sont muées en une révolution armée. Le 17/7/12, l'ASL lançait une grande offensive à Damas et, le 21, une autre, à Alep. La bataille d'Alep commençait. Ce documentaire n'a pas la prétention de retracer l'historique de cette bataille. Il s'agit pour ses auteurs d'évoquer une ville en guerre, devenue le symbole de la révolution syrienne. Par des images et les voix des protagonistes, filmés par Pierre Piccinin da Prata lors de différents reportages qu'il réalisa à leur côté, le film conserve les mémoires de ces hommes et de leur ville, pour que ne disparaissent pas tout à fait, sous les ruines, le fantôme de leurs espérances défuntes…
In May 2012,"free elections" were announced by President Bashar al-Assad. The promise made to his people by the young Syrian head of state has not been kept. Quickly, peaceful demonstrations, severely repressed by the regime, turned into an armed revolution. On 7/17/12, the ASL launched a major offensive in Damascus and, on the 21st, another, in Aleppo. The Battle of Aleppo began. This documentary does not pretend to retrace the history of this battle. For its authors, it is about a city at war, which has become the symbol of the Syrian revolution. By images and voices of the protagonists, filmed by Pierre Piccinin da Prata in various reports that he produced alongside them, the film preserves the memories of these men and their city, so that they do not completely disappear, under the ruins, the ghost of their dead hopes ...
