Overview

El-Terhal (Roaming About) is a Syrian historical drama set during the turbulent 1940s, a period marked by regional conflicts and internal upheaval across the Levant. When a young boy's father leaves for war, the family he leaves behind must navigate the sweeping changes that come with it — displacement, uncertainty, and the slow erosion of the life they knew. Seen through the eyes of the child, the film becomes a tender meditation on absence, waiting, and the way that history reshapes ordinary families. A poignant entry in Syrian cinema's tradition of intimate historical storytelling.
