In the extraordinary Egyptian city of Suez, the Egyptian revolution was born and the film features its entire special divided story. The Suez born 30 years old filmmaker invites the audience to share his internal meditative look at the very special five periods of time in his life. Using the director’s voice over, animation scenes, and a poetic style of sound design & cinematography, the film describes the mental & psychic structure of the so-called ‘Egyptian revolution generation’, reconstructing facts related to Egypt’s far and near history.
