- Synopsis
- Yehia Kassem, a former investigative journalist, finds himself in a desolate Cairo as his own memory illness takes a toll on him. After his father‘s death, Yehia finds a memoir written by his father, which recounts an encounter with Zaabalawi, an immortal figure known for his extraordinary healing abilities. Intrigued by this figure, Yehia sets out to find Zaabalawi, hoping for a transformative revelation that will surpass his previous successes as an investigative journalist.
  In the memoir, Yehia comes across a passage where his father expresses regret for missing an opportunity to meet Zaabalawi due to a past incident. Upon further investigation, he is faced with two contradictory narratives about the myth of Zaabalawi. While both narratives can be reconciled with the authenticity of his father‘s encounter, Yehia is faced with the challenge of determining the truth.
  
  Yehia‘s desire to find Zaabalawi grows stronger as he begins to experience the same symptoms that his father described during his own journey. He embarks on a nocturnal voyage of self-discovery to uncover the truth about the memoir and find a cure for his inherited illness.
