They follow the smell of what they fear is a chemical bomb attack. This is Aleppo, where death surrounds you. Dark and empty with deserted buildings, telling the story of a thousand disrupted lives. Through this trip, searching for survivors, we experience the personal story behind the war. nnKhalid, Subhi and Mahmoud, all founding members of the White Helmets in Aleppo, a group of ordinary citizens, who are the first to enter the destroyed buildings, scouring through the rubble in search of bodies and signs of life are now living more or less under siege and constant bombing together with the remaining 350.000 civilians in Aleppo.
