With the show Sous un ciel bas, Sirian author and director Waël Ali tells of Jamal, a forty year old Sirian documentarist, living for many years in France. He is obsessed by the loss of his past: the places of his youth are gone, those who were a part of his world have now left and moved elsewhere. He feels trapped by the idea that this somehow impeedes his creativity: «how can I look at the present if I no longer have a past?» He therefore embarks on a journey in search of something that may restore his life story.
