A legend about a promised treasure, passed down by his family members from generation to generation, possesses him, prompting him to search for it across homes and times... Whenever the old pictures come together, the voices of the departed speak out from them, calling him to continue the journey he began in pursuit of the treasure. In his fifth novel, Ahmed Al-Qarmalawi puts in our hands a novel of generations with a different flavor, in which he accompanies us through the streets of old Cairo and its endless stories. Stories of love, pain, and loss, small victories and resounding defeats... It is a story of time leaking out and we cannot stop it.
