Youhanna Nagy

Seven-year-old Aya is forced into an unexpected quest to survive, after everyone at her primary school believes she is haunted by jinn.

In a world full of technology manner to communicate with each other, D&A, hopeless lovers, have only the sea to send their letters through. Between the two countries they have the same fears,that their letters will never arrives, so they send another letter to express their fears.

It’s the Holy Week in Egypt. As the quarantine is still imposed, the local Coptic communities have decided to use the virtual world to carry on their annual rituals. In the meantime, Youhanna tries to teach his grandmother how to use modern-day technology to stay in touch with her friends during the lockdown. The prayers are performed online, although affected by the uneven internet connections. Youhanna’s only escape is the online video calls with his friends. Reflecting on the global situation that has suspended all social activities around the globe, he starts to document his ordinary day-by-day life.

With the lack of personal video archive, Youhanna (the filmmaker) creates false memories using lost home videotapes shot between the 1990s and 2000s in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with the help of an Artificial intelligence programme, until a real, personal video archive surfaces, transporting him into the past to relive one more memory with his late mother.
