Despite moving to a new country\, he’s intent on pursuing his dream to become a doctor. But when his father\, Issam\, insists that he must focus on survival\, Tareq and his family move towards a different\, but familiar path: Rebuilding Issam’s chocolate business. When what seemed like a nostalgic attempt to cling onto remnants of an old life past becomes an overnight sensation\, Tareq is shocked. Put in the role of business manager\, he must choose between the demands of an exponentially growing business and an offer to go back to medical school. New challenges arise between a rival chocolatier while the heartbreak of Tareq’s sister left behind in Syria weighs heavily on the family. Nevertheless\, Tareq remains set on his goals\, buoyed by a supportive community of eclectics. As father and son both struggle to find common ground and navigate the complexities of family duty\, the heightening tension between them threatens to tear the family apart. Based on the internationally recognized true story. \nAwards:\nWinner – Jury Award\, Cordillera International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Choice Award\, Heartland International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Award\, Best Feature\, Lavazza Italian Contemporary Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Prize\, Loudoun Arts Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Award\, Naples International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Award\, Port Townsend Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Award\, Scottsdale International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Award\, Woods Hole Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Award\, Best Feature\, Toronto Food Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Jury Award\, Best Feature Drama\, Sedona Film Festival\, 2022 \n  \nFunded by: City of Barrie\, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Telefilm Canada  \nSponsored by: Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Lehman & Associates\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing Inc.\, Sigma Engagement Systems\, and Venable Park Investment Council Inc.
