Return, is a 2022 Syrian movie, directed by Ghiath Al Mhitawi, and starring Ahmad Kiki, Amal Omran. with a runtime of 16 minutes.
Return is a deeply affecting Syrian drama set against the backdrop of war. Husam, a Syrian soldier, is granted a precious 24-hour leave and uses it to visit his family in Damascus. In the space of a single day, the film distils the full weight of longing, fear, and love that defines life in wartime — the tenderness of reunion, the dread of departure, and the fragile hope that sustains those left behind. With an intimate, restrained approach, Return captures the human cost of conflict through one man's fleeting return home, making it a poignant reflection on family, duty, and survival in contemporary Syria.
