It’s the beginning of the 2010s. In revolutionary Cairo, the filmmaker tries to let go of objects accumulated over generations. He films inside the huge flat that used to belong to his parents, with an interior that dates back to the years preceding yet another revolution. How can he make any decisions in these unsettling times? Familiar objects also have their say.

Paul Geday is a publisher and visual artist living and working in Cairo. After BYE, BYE 2012, he was once again represented in the Forum Expanded program the following year.
