Trumpets in The Sky
Rakan Mayasi

Lebanon today - the war in Syria is next door. A once dreamy and undisturbed  meadow changes drastically in the eyes of Boushra, 14years - who returns from work picking  potatoes to learn that her childhood will soon come to an end. With an absent father, her mother  sells her into marriage. As she tries to connect with her decaying hometown, Boushra fears the  impending possibilities of departure and becoming a woman. Without dialogues, ‘Trumpets in the  Sky’ is a poetic visual contemplation on landscapes and the complexity of human traditions. Part  fiction, part documentary, and purposely blurring the distinction, the bleakness of the narrative  explores a dark socio-political critique of patriarchy, the repercussions of war, and the myth of  sacrifice.
