A mysterious force haunts an Egyptian village, where women are blamed for the end of mankind as fear, superstition, and collective guilt take hold.

A young boy goes to a cursed brook and witnesses something that will seal his fate.

A couple's dreams of parenthood are shattered by a mystical ritual, forcing their daughter to embrace her supernatural destiny amidst love, betrayal and a cursed fate.

Mona, a housemaid in her mid-30s who lives with her mother in Imbaba, a working-class neighborhood in Cairo. When her mother’s health declines, Mona takes over her job cleaning for a cultured family in Zamalek—an affluent district across the Nile. Between these two worlds divided by the river, Mona lives a life of muted repetition—quiet, invisible, and suspended between belonging and disconnection. Her only regular contact is a friend she speaks to by phone. When a foreign guest arrives at the house, a fragile connection forms. They talk about life, loneliness, and a strange rumor circulating online: that a green planet is inching closer to Earth. Whether real or imagined, the planet becomes a distant signal—not of salvation, but of a world caught in a suspended anticipation, one touched by a faint, uncertain glow that leaves everyone, and Mona most of all, waiting for something they cab sense but cannot yet name.
