Aisha, a 26 year old Somali migrant living in a volatile Cairo neighborhood, where violent tensions between Egyptians and various African nationalities, must navigate the daily danger as criminal gangs exploit African communities. When gangs exploit instability and offer protection at a dangerous cost, her choices narrow. This tense portrait examines survival, power, and the uncertainty of migrant life.
