Ali is convinced that his dead girlfriend has been reincarnated as a goat. Ali's mother, on the other hand, thinks he son isn't right in the head and sends him to a healer. There he meets Ibrahim, a sound engineer who hears voices. For the shaman, it's clear that both men have been cursed and will only be able to free themselves by throwing three magic stones into the Nile, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Ali, the goat and Ibrahim set out on a turbulent trip across Egypt. A road movie, by turns bizarre, funny and touching, and a parable of a country caught between the traditional and the modern.
