Overview

The Book of Sun is an Egyptian horror drama film that follows a passionate film student in his final academic year who sets out to produce an independent horror movie with virtually no budget. Drawing on an unlikely crew — his closest friend, a former rival, and a seasoned professor who believes in the project — he assembles a team whose creative energy is matched only by their personal tensions. What starts as an ambitious student passion project gradually transforms into something far more dangerous, pulling all involved into an unscripted adventure that threatens to derail their futures entirely.
