Painting With Fire

2026 1h 11m

Years after losing his eyes to a terrorist bomb, a blind Syrian drama professor lets a British painter recount his story through paintings. During the process, repressed traumas from the past resurface for both of them, and art becomes their lifeline. From the wounds of war to reckoning with family ghosts, and from childhood abuse to approaching artistic creation as a way of coping with the inner demons, the remarkable Painting With Fire bravely explores a variety of themes, concealing surprises at every turn - and as it unfolds, revealing its cards one by one, it becomes an extremely compelling commentary on the various forms of human blindness (beyond the physical) that will undoubtedly stay etched in your memory for a long while.
