Synopsis:
In the heart of Port Said, Ghaly chronicles the quiet journey of Muhammad Ghaly, a devoted craftsman who has dedicated his life to reviving and preserving the art of Simsimiyya making — an ancient
Egyptian string instrument rooted in the cultural memory of the Suez Canal cities. From his modest workshop, where wood and wire are transformed through patience and passion, Ghaly gives new life to an instrument that once carried the songs and struggles of generations. Through sincere, intimate moments, the film captures his resistance against time and cultural neglect, portraying a story not just of an
instrument, but of survival through craftsmanship and living memory.
