Overview

After eight years working in Doha and sending money back to his siblings—Fawzia, Najwa, Ibrahim, and Mahdi—Shaker returns to Cairo expecting gratitude and belonging. Instead he finds a family transformed by social shifts that occurred in his absence: they have built lives without him and no longer need his support. A quietly devastating portrait of sacrifice, family dynamics, and the way time abroad creates distances that money cannot bridge.
