A young Sudanese artist arrives in Cairo at dawn, fleeing the war in Khartoum after the violent loss of his mother. Emotionally numb and disoriented, Dhawi has nowhere to go except the apartment of his estranged grandfather, a retired television cinematographer he has not seen since childhood. Inside the apartment, time feels suspended. Old cameras, photographs and cassette tapes silently echo a shared past marked by rupture and absence. Dhawi and his grandfather coexist in fragile proximity, speaking little and moving through routine gestures and unfinished conversations. Beneath the silence lie buried anger, inherited guilt and unresolved grief. As Dhawi struggles with trauma, insomnia and a fractured sense of self, the grandfather makes hesitant attempts to reconnect. Over a single night and early morning, both are forced to face what has long remained unspoken. By dawn, Dhawi must choose whether to stay or leave once more towards his uncertain inner light.
