    • Synopsis
    • FOG is a narrative feature drama film that tells the story of four exiled Assyrians/Syriacs in four foggy cities. They are visited by a mysterious guest after each of them has been long separated from a loved one. As the visitor follows traces of their history in their homeland, they speculate over who sent her. She works through each scenario they imagined of her to bring out secrets that she can align with voices she hears. As she develops an intense connection with a militia member in the old homeland, each of the four’s connection to the other is revealed. The film then culminates to a peak when each of the characters steps out to make the move they dread most.
