Synopsis:
Cairo's urban metamorphosis urges a filmmaker to search the city for the one she once knew.

As Cairo undergoes dramatic urban transformations, the filmmaker embarks on a journey through the city in search of the remnants of the world she once knew. As she moves through the chaos and the changing landmarks, her memory of the place fades and disappears. She tries to hold on to those memories threatened by change. Yet, she becomes lost amidst the fragmented memories, turning her journey into a poetic exploration of identity and belonging, revealing the delicate balance between identity and place.
