Synopsis
A visual symphony that pays a tribute to the Cairenes, to their way of life, to the fate of their town. Pio Corradi’s stunning images drive the story, as well as the contrasting and delightful music played by the trio Afrogarage. The hectic and noisy agitation of the town alternate with meditative sequences, sometimes poetic, sometimes funny., Eyes and ears are invited to the party. To enjoy with a touch of dust, of car horns, of heat, of exhaustion and of crowd, with a pinch of empathy, with a hint of humor, of detachment and of bitter-sweet lyricism.
