Once the capital of Pharaonic Egypt and a sacred location marked by the visit of Jesus and Mary, Ein Shams has become one of Cairo's poorest, most neglected neighborhoods.
Through the eyes of Shams, an eleven year old girl from the neighborhood, the film captures the sadness and magic of everyday life. The diverse characters of the film showcase the intricacies of Egypt's political system and social structure, and give a glimpse into the grievances of the Middle East region and the complex relationships of its nations.
