Diamond dust

Taha lives in Cairo, where he works as a pharmaceutical representative during the day and as a pharmacist at night. In his free time, he plays the drums and takes care of his father, who is confined to a wheelchair and spends his days observing the lives of others through binoculars. One morning, when Taha returns home, he finds his father lifeless—he has been murdered. The police soon halt their investigation, prompting Taha to search for the perpetrator himself. In the process, he discovers the darkest sides of Cairo, encountering cruelty and ruthlessness, but also people who believe in a change for the society destroyed by corruption and clientelism. Taha begins to see his world through different eyes. Unexpectedly, he comes across his father's diary, in which his father describes the murders he once committed in Cairo's Jewish quarter. Taha uncovers the truth.
