Youssef, Ibrahim, and Fady spent 20 years in the same prison. Youssef has just been released to find several confidential documents. Ibrahim wants to see his daughter who is training with the musician Fady.

They are all looking for someone or something in this kaleidoscopic portrait of loneliness and despair in today's Egypt.
