Not anymore. No one lives their life in Syria as they used to live it before the revolution started. Any random Syrian person has changed throughout the two years of the revolution. That, however, doesnt have anything to do with the revolution itself as a consupt, it is directly related to the way Assad decided to deal with it. 

"I used to wear fancy dresses and highheals," the short film starts with the girl who is now a citizen journlist saying so. Nour used to be an English teacher and now her life evolves around the revolution. She documents everything hoping the world would see how people die in Syria and do something about it. 

The other person, Mawia, in the film is a random guy that you would meet at a bus stop on your back home. He is just so random that he just called himself a "civilian" with no identity. He joined the FSA afterward, he wanted to defend his rights of living a free life. 

"Maybe this cat is more important to the American people than us," Mawia says while pointing toward the cat. He then laughs, as if it was an accepted reality that it is Okay that the little animal are more important. He later on say, "we are not terrorist as they say, even cats feel safe here".
