Berlin 2025: Leyla comes across the diary of her dying mother Zeina. We delve into the biography of the Syrian archaeologist who once researched Palmyra and the history of the ancient Queen Zenobia before she was forced by the war to leave Syria and seek refuge in Germany. Here her thoughts keep wandering back to her homeland. Above all, she is accompanied by the imagined presence of Zenobia, with whom she enters into an intimate dialogue. In her composition, Ronchetti combines fragments from Albinoni's Venetian opera of the same name with traditional Syrian music.
