Why Zan chose to go to Norway

Because UNHCR helped Zan and his family go to Norway in 20 18.

In the Lebanese film How to Go Home, Zan decided to flee Lebanon to Switzerland through an illegal intermediary, but learned that he didn't have any identification documents. At the same time, Zan learned that his sister died unexpectedly. Angry Zan stabbed the landlord's son with a knife and was finally taken to court. Of course, the movie has a happy ending. Zan won the case and was sent abroad to study.

For Zan himself, the hero, he fled the war in Syria and came to Lebanon, with a very happy ending. After the film received a lot of attention, UNHCR helped Zan and his family go to Norway in 20 18. Today, Zan goes to school there and lives a quiet life of his dreams.

According to the film director Nadine Labaki, Zan is a Syrian refugee. When she found the boy on 20 16, he had lived in Lebanon with his family for eight years. At that time, 12-year-old Zan, like the hero in the film, was a delivery man and often fought in the street.
