Ibrahim, Soliman, Manar and Altayeb—intensely humane idealists—have been filmmakers and friends for more than 45 years. Reunited after long years of distance and exile, they plan to revive their old dream: to make cinema a reality in Sudan. They are determined to leave their mark and inspire a love for cinema. Throughout the images they create, the ones they lost and the ones remaining only a desire, the beautiful and horrific faces of their country appear.
