Film synopsis:
“Coma” shows the microcosmos of three generations of women from one family. In detailed observation, their movements between the present and an everlasting past are followed, as their lives intersect while living together in one house. Coexisting, but separated by the age and time that burden each of them, they share their painful experiences and search for a way of life in the loss and agony of the war around them. Their lives overlapping with the events occuring in Damascus, their city and constant reference, they watch while its organs slowly shut down, as if-just like its population-it is dying from a long coma.
