‘The Guest’ tells the story 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 neighbour Meryem, along with other refugees. What Lena really wants is to return home, while Meryem’s hope is to reach Europe. They arrive in Istanbul only to face new challenges, they do not know anyone and they get abandoned by the only people who could help. Lena’s efforts to survive in the big city inspires us with hope. At the end of the tough journey, they have both learned to love each other with compassion. And their journey makes us reflect on the question: What if a war were to break out tomorrow closer to home?
