On a stifling night in Cairo, a wedding party drives across a bridge honking loudly; roaming adolescents comment on people they encounter; two guards play cards while a third sips tea and watches a soap opera. A brief meditation on the arbitrariness, fluidity and intensity of lived experience.

Twee gezichten van dezelfde stad op hetzelfde tijdstip: Cairo bij nacht.

Twee gezichten van dezelfde stad op hetzelfde tijdstip: Cairo bij nacht. Afwisselend volgen we nachtwakers in de uitgestorven dure wijken en levendige straatschoffies. Het camerawerk correspondeert met de twee totaal verschillende stemmingen.
