🎬 Movie

Ali, a cartographer from Cairo, receives a peculiar commission—to create a map that leads nowhere. His client, an elderly Bedouin, claims it is a map for the New Year, but not of the calendar kind; it's an internal one. Instead of coordinates, there are memories; instead of landmarks, regrets. Ali ventures into the desert where he meets Layla, a woman searching for a well mentioned in her grandmother's childhood tale. Their paths cross at an ancient wadi, where the map begins to reveal not geographical, but temporal anomalies. Past and present blend like sand in an hourglass, forcing each to reconsider their losses and hopes. The film explores the idea that the real journey is not movement through space, but an encounter with what we've left behind in time.
