The Three Musketeers
Three men, well past their prime, staring down an economy that has left them with nothing. In the aftermath of everything Syria has been through, this warm Syrian comedy follows a trio of older men and their families as they scramble to make ends meet — trying every trick in the book, legal or otherwise, just to put food on the table. Funny, honest and impossible not to root for.
