An Egyptian woman is trying to look after her four children, before and after her divorce from their father. However, over time circumstances around her gradually change on all levels.
Since 2003, Mahmood Soliman has tracked the subjects of his 2003 documentary ‘Living Among Us’. The intervening 10 years have been the most inflamed decade in Egypt’s modern history. This film reveals how, over the last decade, Nadia’s eldest, once the best student at school, has become a 21-year-old drug dealer; how 11-year-old Omnia, her only daughter, came to life; and how Nadia herself, from being a strong woman struggling for her kids and trying to escape from a cruel husband, became a mother in her fifties striding through the streets of Cairo in search of her sons. The collapse of this reflects Egypt’s deterioration, especially in the last 10 years of Mubarak era, and the attempts of his regime’s remains to thwart the January Revolution.
