Details

Damascus archiveWelcome to Damascus. The oldest continuously inhabited city on earth, a jewel of the Arab world and the crossroads of the Middle East. Paul is here to sell English language textbooks. It's Valentine's Day and he'd rather be at home with his wife. Paul begins negotiations with his Syrian contact, Muna. Can he seal the deal? At first, misunderstandings multiply - then, their presumptions about one another fall away and new possibilities emerge. Meanwhile Zacharia, the hotel porter, fervently hopes that Paul has brought some Scottish girls with him and all the while, in the background, Elena, the Ukrainian cocktail pianist, tinkles away... In Damascus, a city of transformations, Paul grapples with language and love, meanings and misconceptions. And as his flight home is delayed by a bomb at Beirut Airport, he begins to wonder - will he ever leave?
