Ανέμελα μεσημέρια στο Αλέπο μίας οικογένειας που εγκατέλειψε την πατρίδα της στο έλεος του Isis… Ενα σπαρακτικά θλιβερό άλμπουμ μίας κανονικής οικογένειας που απολαμβάνει την καθημερινότητα, τα γενέθλια, τα Χριστούγεννα, τους παιδότοπους και άλλα που θεωρούμε πάντα δεδομένα στην πανέμορφη πατρίδα της. Η οικογένεια Μπελούν θυμάται τις ωραίες μέρες αφού άφησαν τα πάντα, τους διέλυσαν τη ζωή και τις περιουσίες και μεταφέρθηκαν στην Αυστραλία.
