When his wife vanishes during a mysterious sleeping epidemic, a paramedic races through a collapsing Cairo, and his own dreams, to bring her back.
A mysterious sleeping sickness spreads across Cairo and the wider region, leaving thousands unconscious and slowly pushing the city towards collapse. Yusuf, a dedicated paramedic, spends long nights trying to help those affected. But his world changes completely when he returns home to find his wife, Nour, suddenly missing. Afraid she may have been caught in the crisis, he begins a desperate search through an overwhelmed and drifting city. Nour, an astronomer, had been working late at the observatory on the night she disappeared. As Yusuf retraces her steps, he learns that she noticed something unusual in the sky.
The more he uncovers, the more he senses that her disappearance may be connected to what she found. Exhausted from work and worry, Yusuf begins slipping in and out of sleep. In these moments, he sees scattered visions that feel like pieces of the truth – images of Nour that guide him but also unsettle him. Convinced that his dreams are holding something real, Yusuf pushes himself to stay awake for the sake of their young daughter, Leil, who unknowingly holds a small clue Nour left behind. As the boundary between dreaming and waking starts to blur, Yusuf must follow every sign he has – across the city and inside his own mind – to bring Nour back.
