SYNOPSIS
In 1982, Sero, a young Kurdish boy from a Syrian border village, attends school for the first time. His new teacher from Damascus forbids use of the Kurdish language and preaches hate of the Zionist enemy, the Jews. This confuses Sero as his long-time neighbours are a lovable Jewish family. As Sero becomes involved in dangerous pranks with his friends and dreams of having a television, he experiences the effect of the violence and nationalism surrounding him. Beautifully shot and told with gentle humour and satire, aNeighboursa explores the tyranny of dictatorship through a child’s eyes. How much friendship and love is possible in times of repression and brutality?
