A sad postcard from Syria, which comes into full view when one of the participants, in the momentary comfort of a Turkish hotel for training, utters: "Peace and tranquility, and all you have to do is cross the border." The Oscar is undoubtedly a political gesture, but the impossibility of choosing which party to support from the comfort of central Europe is clearly beyond the discernment of some. It's not tendentious or manipulative. It is rather bitter, but also not hopeless. As the saying goes: Not all heroes wear capes.
