Ce film fait partie de la carte blanche de l’institut du monde arabe à Paris
Lors d’un concert au Caire, le plus grand groupe du Moyen-Orient, Mashrou’ Leila dynamise une foule de 35 000 personnes. Sur scène, le charismatique chanteur Hamed, la première rock star ouvertement gay du monde arabe, fait face à une mer de lumières vacillantes. Parmi l’incandescence, un fan hisse un drapeau arc-en-ciel géant, couronnant une nuit magique. Pourtant, ce simple acte de fierté et de joie va finalement catapulter le groupe, le fan et d’autres personnes dans une série d’événements tragiques.
