Synopsis: Saqr wants to flee the grimy neighborhood of Egyptian tanners where he lives and works, but his sister Taheya wants to prevent it however. Every day he prepares and takes the food to show him that without it, he would die of hunger. Underneath the hijab he goes through the narrow streets crossed by sewers where the sunlight barely penetrates. Between the stretched skins and the loaded mules, a shaman observes her in silence and will help her to prevent her brother from leaving.
