Adham El Sherif

A retired singer from northern Sudan, Mona, burdened by guilt for covering up a man's death, hires his southern widow, Julia, as her maid. Unable to confess her role in the tragedy, she hopes to move forward, but the country's growing unrest threatens to reveal her secret.

In the city, some lead a privileged life, whilst others are mere labour. There are those who live a wretched existence, but at least are free to live a dog's life in the Egyptian capital.

A relationship at the end of collapse. With minimal words, the film examines the vulnerability of love.
