Maxima leaves Syria to reach Holland in 2015. Aleppo, her city, has long been a war zone. She is a 14-year-old girl, with a too big backpack on her shoulder and her mother’s scarf around her neck.
A journey made of changing borders, of controls, of bleeding feet, of long waits and prayers under the Aegean moon.
Maxima’s story is a true story, which she herself told in a book together with the writer and journalist Francesca Ghirardelli.
A project that tries to keep with itself the stories of those who are in a migration journey today, for those who can reach their destination and for those who cannot. A project which tries to make a link between her eyes (full of everything they’ve seen) to the eyes of those who will be able to look.
