Adham, a young musician from Alexandria, travels to Cairo to pursue his musical career and reconnect with his old friend Amr, a member of his former band who has since attempted to settle his life. The film follows Adham through the contrasting landscapes of an ever-evolving Cairo. For Adham, the city is an arena where the strong survive and the weak fall by the wayside. When he reaches out to Amr, he finds he has moved on—and up—and the foundation of their relationship is not what it once was.
