Official Selection · El Gouna Film Festival 2026 Best Short · Ismailia 2025
2026 · Drama · 84 min · Shubra, Cairo · 4K · Arabic · EN/FR subs

After her father's projector breaks, a young woman in Shubra rebuilds it from scrap metal — and begins screening her neighborhood's forgotten memories on a rooftop wall. A film about light, inheritance, and the images a city refuses to lose.

بعد أن يتعطل بروجيكتور والدها، تعيد شابة من شبرا تركيبه من الخردة — وتبدأ في عرض ذكريات حيّها المنسية على حائط فوق السطح.
