"A mother and daughter explore together the trajectory of four generations of women in their family, an Egyptian family from the Levant, where life and cinema have been and are intimately linked.

A cross between family archives, where reality and fiction are mixed, and the autobiographical films of Youssef Chahine. From Alexandria to Cairo, via Paris and Havana, an intimate and visceral story where mother and daughter cross space and time to retrace their destinies and question their emotions..."
