TEHRAN - “Damascus Time” by Ebrahim Hatamikia will hit the silver screens in Syria on Friday, a public relations team announced on Saturday.

The film will go on screen in five the Syrian cities of Damascus, Aleppo, Deir al Zour, Homs and Latakia for one week.

“Damascus Time” is about an Iranian pilot and his copilot son who are captured by the Daesh forces in Syria while they are in the country to deliver a cargo of humanitarian relief supplies to people in a war-torn region.

Hadi Hejazifar and Babak Hamidian from Iran and several Syrian and Lebanese actors star in the movie that brought Hatamikia a Crystal Simorgh for best director at the 36th Fajr Film Festival in Tehran in February.
