An old man rows alone on Lake el-Assad, where his childhood home lies, submerged after the construction of the Tabqa Dam in 1973. Unaware of the approaching war, with mask and snorkel, he descends into the depths and traverses his memory: his sons before leaving to fight, Sarah, his poetry-loving wife, the prison, first love, and the thirst for freedom.

For a general audience, especially readers of contemporary literary fiction in French.
