Overview

Step by Step is a documentary drama set in the terraced highlands of rural Syria, offering an unflinching look at the everyday hardships facing village communities trapped in cycles of poverty and toil. Caught between the demands of primitive farming, religious conservatism, and political pressure, the inhabitants barely scrape by. Their children cling to dreams of becoming doctors or engineers — aspirations that the harsh realities of their surroundings make almost impossible to achieve. The film is a sobering portrait of generational struggle, where hope and despair exist side by side, and where the future promises little more than the lives their parents already lead.
