Synopsis

On the coast of Latakia, young Salim spends his days dreaming by the sea and asking endless questions.

One evening, his grandfather tells him about an ancient city called Ugarit, where the first alphabet in the world was born.

Through a magical dream, Salim travels back in time to meet Ilat Nira, a girl writing with strange new symbols — thirty signs that can capture any sound, any word, any story.

Together, they watch ships sail out carrying clay tablets filled with poetry, messages, and wisdom — the first letters ever to cross the sea.
A poetic journey through history and imagination, A Ship from Ugarit celebrates the moment when humanity first learned to write — and every word became a voyage.
