Family Crisis(2017)

Family Crisis is a Syrian comedy-drama that captures the strain of ordinary life amid national upheaval. A father clings to traditional values while his wife dreams of escaping abroad and their university-educated children transform the family home into an impromptu laboratory. The film mines dark humor and genuine tension from the clash between generations—between a man trying to hold his world together and a household torn between ambition, survival, and the pull of the outside world. Set against Syria's political turmoil, Family Crisis explores how families fracture and adapt when everything around them shifts.
