Our take

Ten years after her debut feature, Zeina Durra returns with a romantic enigma set within Luxor’s magnificent sites. Love might be a feeling attached to a person or a place, and the idea of return, memory and recovery is at the core of this meditative drama, starring a transfixing Andrea Riseborough.
