Syria's rich storytelling tradition has been passed from grandparents to grandchildren, filled with colourful imagery entrenched in the nation's culture. As modernisation ravages the old familiar city of Damascus, will this cherished cultural heritage vanish amidst the rubble and disruption? A spellbinding journey through the art, architecture and vibrant stories that still - just - inhabit the heart of an ancient city.
