There's a point along the railway between Ancona and Rome where the train seems to walk on water: from that window begins a journey that crosses the sea to Syria, nineteen days after the fall of Assad. From Damascus to Aleppo, her hometown, Asmae Dachan (Syria, the Day After, add editore) experiences encounters of pain and hope: two teenagers saving books and works of art, a craftsman reopening his bicycle shop, families still waiting for news of their missing loved ones. She creates a mosaic of places and people to describe what it means, after fourteen years of war, to finally look to the next day.
