Windows of the Soul is a Syrian documentary that embarks on an intellectual and visual journey through Syria's layered civilizational history. The film's protagonist, wrestling with questions of history, culture, and identity, sets out to trace the arc of Syrian civilization across the ages. Through the narrator's guidance, the film maps five foundational shifts in human civilization — the agricultural revolution, the birth of writing and the rise of cities, the age of trade, the emergence of Christianity, and the cultural flowering of Islamic civilization.
