What happens

Parabolernes by er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2006, der er instrueret af Sune Blicher og Anne Ebbesen. Fra fugleperspektiv daler vi ned over Damaskus flade tage, som blot anes under en skov af parabolantenner. Her må være et kæmpeforbrug af satellit-tv. Alle har deres egen parabol, ja måske endda flere paraboler, for man skulle nødigt gå glip af æterens utallige fristende tilbud. Er folk anderledes indstillede i Syrien, eller betyder tv-kiggeriet noget andet og mere end i Danmark? Tag med filmholdet rundt i landets hovedstad og få svar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
