Luxor

Andrea Riseborough stars as an aid worker processing the trauma of working on the frontline on the Jordanian-Syrian border.

After a draining period spent working at a war trauma unit on the Jordanian-Syrian border, British doctor Hana (Riseborough) seeks rest and retreat. She embarks on a nostalgic trip to Luxor in Egypt, the place where she spent her early twenties and the home of her former lover, Sultan, a handsome archaeologist. She soon runs into Sultan on a ferry crossing, intensifying her longing for the past. Director Zeina Durra has crafted a stunning portrait of Luxor, and the reflective tale of romance and recovery that delicately unfolds within it.
