Life After Siham

Siham is no longer alive. And yet she is still here, in the letters she wrote to her husband, Waguih, in the 1970s. And in the way he still feels her presence in the house. And in the films their son Namir made. Siham is still smiling in the hundreds of hours of footage Namir shot of her during his film career. These images are interwoven with scenes in which Waguih and Namir come to terms with her death, and are juxtaposed with excerpts from the films of the celebrated Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine.
