Set in the chaotic but intoxicating Egyptian capital, this film directed by Ruba Nadda is a romantic drama about a brief, unexpected love affair that catches two people completely off-guard.

Juliette (Patricia Clarkson), a magazine editor, arrives in Cairo to meet her husband Mark (Tom McCamus), a UN official in Gaza. When he is unavoidably delayed, Mark sends his friend and former security officer Tareq (Alexander Siddig) to show her around the city. As she gets used to the customs and rhythm of life in Cairo, she finds herself falling not only for the city's charms, but for Tareq as well.
