A young student becomes a pawn in a ruthless power struggle between Egypt’s religious and political elite after the Grand Imam of al-Azhar dies.
Life on the margins in a changing Cairo is given vivid life in leading Egyptian independent filmmaker Ahmad Abdalla's new feature. An elderly attendant lives in a dilapidated villa that has been abandoned for decades. Relatively isolated from the tumult of the city around him, the intrusion of the ruthless leader of a local street gang threatens to upend his quiet existence.
