"longs for her father through memories, imagination and the fragments of a life uprooted by conflict. As Alkheder reflects on what was lost and what remains, she confronts the emotional weight of nostalgia and the love that binds her to her father and her homeland. I Love You More explores what it means to long for someone, and somewhere, when they are both out of reach. A documentary short by Nour Alkheder."
Set against the fallout of the Syrian war, the piece traces a daughter's longing for her father through memories, imagination and fragmented remnants of an uprooted life. Memory and imagined moments intertwine to recover what was lost and to acknowledge what remains. Nostalgia emerges as an emotional burden that coexists with enduring love for family and homeland. The narrative examines the experience of yearning for a person and a place that are both unreachable. Visual and narrative fragments reconstruct absence, showing how emotional bonds and imaginative reconstruction sustain connection despite displacement and separation.
