In a deep examination of prevailing attitudes towards mental health in Egypt, the film sheds light on a group of residents in Cairo’s Abbassiya Asylum as they grapple with the stigma of “madness” that society has confined them to، including their own families.
Viewers glimpse into the daily lives of patients within the facility, dominated by suffering, but interspersed with rare moments of respite. For the first time, these men and women recount their side of the story: some have accepted their fate, others yearn for life outside hospital walls, and some have never known another home.
