Daye is a 14-year-old Nubian albino with a golden voice. He is bullied for his unique appearance and abandoned by his father, but Daye does not let it get him down. He dreams of becoming a singer like his idol, Mohamed Mounir. When he gets the chance to audition for "The Voice", Daye and his family embark on the perilous journey from Aswan to Cairo. Their path is fraught with challenges: a car is stolen, savings are lost, they have to flee from the police and they face discrimination. But their love for each other and Daye's extraordinary talent help them to get through. They also receive help from unexpected quarters, including a friendly firefighter - and an inspiring encounter with Mounir himself. Daye is a story about resilience, hope and the power of music. It explores themes of identity, ambition and the unbreakable bond of family, showing how determination and love can triumph over adversity.
