Synopsis
From its troubling appearance after nightfall, to the inhabitants all busying themselves at daybreak, Mohamed films the interior of his family home. A strange climate then establishes itself, particularly around the father, a central element in family life, as he moves about on his wheelchair, like some kind of worrying Custodian of the Premises. American writer H.P Lovecraft said : "Fear is the strongest and oldest emotion known to man"... And the film is set inside an Egyptian house... Is there a link here?
