Dokumentarni film ”S ruba pameti” protkan je sudbinom jedne hrišćanske porodice iz Sirije. Na vrhuncu rata dva sina i kćerka Јunesa Ajuba i Helen Alašhab odlaze iz ratom zahvaćene zemlje. Strah od terorista i želja da sačuva porodicu na okupu prisilio je 65-godišnju Helen da krene za svojom djecom. Porodica prodaje veći dio imovine, kako bi platili krijumčarima da ih prebace do Evrope.
Јunak filma, sedamdesetogodišnji Јunes Ajub, ostaje u Damasku. Za domovinu ga vežu jaka patriotska osjećanja, djetinjstvo i uspomene. Njegova ispovijest otkriva emotivnog ali duhovno snažnog čovjeka, koji uprkos odvojenosti od djece i supruge, ne želi da ode iz Damaska.
Daleko od zvukova rata, Helen priča o golgoti njene porodice. Patnja koja joj je bila vjeran saputnik na izbjegličkoj ruti ka Evropi, nije nestala. U tuđini, Helen pati zbog odvojenosti od muža i kćerke, strahuje za budućnost sinova.  Јunes Ajub šalje nam poruku da je strah nemoćan pred snagom uma. Hrišćanin iz Damaska ujedno je i personifikacija opstanka hrišćanstva na Bliskom istoku, koje Islamska država nastoji da iskorijeni.

FROM THE EDGE OF SANITY

Short script:

The documentary "From the Edge of Sanity" is interwoven with the destiny of a Christian family from Syria. At the peak of the war two sons and a daughter of Younes Ayoub and Helen Alashehab leave the war-torn fatherland. Fear of terrorists and a desire to preserve the family together forced the 65-year-old Helen to go after their children. The family sold most of the property to pay smugglers to take them to Europe. The hero of the film, seventy years old Younes Ayoub, remains in Damascus. Strong patriotic feelings, childhood and memories bind him to the homeland. His confession reveals an emotional but also a spiritually strong man, who in spite of the separation of children and wife, does not want to leave Damascus. Far from the sounds of war, Helen talks about her family’s Golgotha. The suffering, which was her faithful companion on the refugee route to Europe, did not go away. In a foreign country, Helen suffers because of separation from her husband and daughter; she feels fear for her sons future. Younes Ayoub sends us a message that fear is powerless against the power of the mind. A Christian from Damascus is also the personification of the survival of Christianity in the Middle East, which the Islamic state is trying to eradicate.
