DIRECTOR: Hatem Emam

 

A tense clash between a government school accountant and an art teacher erupts when he is abruptly expelled from his position. Stunned and disoriented, the art teacher returns home, only to find himself locked in a profound dialogue with his son about life’s simplest pleasures – particularly, the very essence of sustenance. This unsettling comparison plunges him into a dark, symbolic exploration of his own life, blurring the line between reality and the macabre whims of his imagination.
