A French Woman is a romantic film inspired by the second world war. It is the story of a French woman who tries to search the freedom of choosing her destiny.
The Osmane Mounif AIDI Foundation for Heritage, Culture, and Sciences participated paltry in financing the project, with the aim that part of the film be  pictured in Syria, in order to reveal scenes from

   

Damascus in the fifties with all their authenticities.
Also 18 minutes of the film were pictured in the archaeological city of Apamea, showing all its eternity and greatness, for transferring it to the whole world, the film having been presented in three continents: America, Europe and Asia.
:The French director Rgis Wargnier who had won the Oscar, said:
I intended by picturing an important part of my film A French Woman in Damascus and Apamea to show the intervention of the history of France with the history of Syria in the twentieth century and he added :
Since my first visit to Syria I was impressed by the simplicity of the people and their warm welcome, and I discovered the importance of Syria with its civilization and the beauty of its sites. This discovery was a privilege for me, but making other people share with you the pleasure of this discovery through the scenes of a film is another privilege.
