        Overview

        Yehia (Nour El Sherif) travels to London to undergo open heart surgery. While anaesthetised, he dreams of a surreal courtroom scenario that finds his child self in the dock. Hamlet looms large as Yehia reflects on his family’s past and his career, from his international successes to his directorial choices and problems with censorship.
