Following the story of Amina Arraf, the blogger known as A Gay Girl In Damascus and the events surrounding the media's coverage of her kidnapping, Sour Lips fuses fantasy and non-fiction to create its own speculative narrative. Amina was walking near Fares Al-Khouri Street, Damascus, when three armed men seized her. According to an eyewitness, Amina was bustled into a red Dacia Logan with a bumper sticker of Basel Assad. The men are assumed to be members of the Ba'ath Party militia or one of the security services. Amina's present location is still unknown.
