Cairo, 1964. Alaa, a 12-year-old boy, and his three younger siblings hear shouting from the street. Outside, the crowd is cheering for a man. The children can barely believe their eyes—the man is their father, Ibrahim. Nobody expected him to come home from prison that day. If the younger siblings seem happy about his return, Alaa is unable to conceal his distrust towards the man who had so suddenly disappeared from their life.
