In a forgotten corner of Egypt lives a woman who is yearning for a child. Living on the fringes of her community because of her infertility, Hanan lingers between her dream that is slowly slipping away and her struggle to find a place where she belongs. While her surroundings oscillate between fertility and mortality in equal measure, she is wondering what we are supposed to do, with the time in between.
