   The film aims to transmit a positive memory to Syrian children born in exile to help them build an identity far from the painful memories of war and exile. The testimonies of the film were added like pieces in a museum. A receptacle for transmission of stories, traditions and objects to children. Intangible memory is illustrated by personal stories, recollection of childhood bites, through the five senses. The story is led by two famous puppet characters, Karakoz and Ewaz that brought to the kids in their luggage full of stories from Syria. The film ends with a series of “remembered” objects that each protagonist added to the virtual museum and talk about their past.
