Against the background of a crumbling necropolis, the song of a young boy brings us bare-footed into life in an Egyptian shantytown.

Introducing us to the residents of an Egyptian shantytown built on the ruins of an ancient necropolis, Mafrouza – Oh Night! is the first in a polyphonic, five-film ode to community.
