Misafir, gerçek yaşam hikâyesinden alınmış bir film. Suriye’deki savaşta küçük kız kardeşi dışında tüm ailesini yitiren Lena, komşusu Meryem ile birlikte Türkiye üzerinden Avrupa’ya doğru gelişen bir yolculuğa başlarlar. Lena’nın asıl istediği evine dönmektir. Küçük Lena, kız kardeşiyle birlikte kendini büyük şehrin sorunları içinde mücadele ederken bulur. Bir yandan para kazanmak için çalışıp bir yandan da kardeşine bakarak anneliği öğrenmek zorunda kalır. Yeni tanıştığı Said’le arkadaşlık kurarak kendini büyük bir maceranın içine atar. Bu zorlu yolun içinde Lena büyüyerek her türlü engeli aşan bir kahramana dönüşür.
Lena, yaşamına dokunduğu herkese “EĞER YARIN SAVAŞ ÇIKARSA” sorusunu sorgulatarak başka bir şeyi anımsatmaktadır…

La jeune Léna perd toute sa famille sauf sa sœur pendant la guerre de Syrie. Sa voisine Meryem et elle prennent le chemin de l’exil vers l’Europe à travers la Turquie. Même si Léna préfère retourner chez elle, l’exil est inévitable. Elles arrivent difficilement à Istanbul et luttent pour la survie quotidienne face aux nombreux obstacles. Progressivement elles deviennent les héroïnes de leur propre histoire.
Un tel voyage peut arriver à n’importe qui, et se pose alors cette question: que ce passerait-il si une guerre devait éclater demain devant chez vous? Que feriez-vous?
Tout en montrant à Meryem et à Lena comment surmonter les obstacles d’une grande ville et devenir les héroïnes de leur histoire, ce film permettra aux gens de mieux comprendre les sentiments des réfugiés syriens et les réalités auxquelles ils sont confrontés chaque jour.
Commentaire de la réalisatrice
C’est une histoire qui a changé ma vie. J’ai écrit le scénario sous l’influence de la guerre en Syrie, mais le sujet n’est pas la guerre en soit. J’ai moi-même été une «invitée» dans la vie de nombreux réfugiés et j’ai écouté leurs histoires – plus de cinq cents familles – en particulier des femmes et des enfants. J’ai passé les six derniers mois sur les lignes de front. Les réfugiés syriens doivent vivre. Après avoir été témoin du vrai visage de la guerre et de la vie de réfugié, j’ai inévitablement pris part à leur situation. C’est pourquoi ce projet est très important pour moi. J’en ai acquis la conviction intime qu’une lacune majeure dans la société est l’ignorance du devoir de base envers les réfugiés. Dans ce contexte, en tant que réalisatrice et productrice, je crois que ce film amènera le public à un niveau de conscience très réel, car j’ai personnellement vécu cette histoire.

This film follows the journey of Lena and Meryem during their flight from the war in Syria. Lena is a ten year old girl who has lost her family in the war.
She finds herself forced to make her way to Turkey with her baby sister and their neighbor Meryem, along with the other Syrian refugees. Lena wants to return home, while Meryem’s hope is to reach Europe. They arrive in Istanbul only to face new challenges, they get abandoned by the only people that could help. Their efforts to survive in the big city with all its cruelty and coldness, give us hope. At the end of the tough journey they have both learned to love and take care of each other…
Such a journey can happen to anyone, the question is: WHAT IF A WAR IN YOUR HOMETOWN WAS TO ERUPT TOMORROW? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
While showing Meryem and Lena overcoming the hurdles of a big city and becoming heroines of their story, this movie will enable people to have better understanding of Syrian refugees feelings and the realities they face every day.
Directors note
This is a story that has changed my life. I wrote the script under the impact of the war in Syria but it is not about the war itself, I wrote about its influence on people and the dire consequences. I have been a ‘Guest’ myself, in many refugees’ lives and have listened to their stories -more than five hundred families- especially women and children.. I have spent the last six months at the front lines; recorded the stories and witnessed first hand some of the terrifying ordeals the Syrian refugees have to live through. After witnessing the real face of war and refugee life, I have inevitably become a part of it; that is why this project is very valuable for me. It has become my passionate belief that a major gap in society’s basic duty of care towards the refugees is being ignored. In this context, as the director and the producer, I believe this movie will take the audience to a very real level of awareness as I personally experienced this story…
