The film Black Stone is a touching portrait of a district on the fringe of Damascus. In a poor neighborhood south of Damascus called Al-Hajar Al-Aswad (Black Stone), four working children collect pieces of metal to sell. They support their families and steal daily moments of joy while working, or on their day off, wandering around Damascus, a city they love. But their dreams are bigger than their neighborhood or even their town.
