Arqus and the University of Lyon 1 organise a screening of the film “When you can’t go back” on Wednesday 20 May at 17:30 CEST. The event, part of the Arqus Student Co-designed Projects Initiative, will take place in the Salle Fontannes on the Doua campus. It will be followed by a panel discussion with the director, Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso, and it will be conducted entirely in English.
This documentary tells the story of Obaida, a young Syrian student who arrives in Europe on a scholarship after being forced to leave his country due to the war. Alone in a new environment, he must rebuild his life while facing uncertainty, questions of identity, and a sense of belonging. Through his journey, the film offers an intimate yet powerful perspective on exile, resilience, and the experience of starting over elsewhere.
