Juliette, magazine editor, arrives in Cairo Airport to spend her three weeks vacation with her husband Mark who is a Canadian diplomat. But Mark is very occupied with his urgent responsibilities in a refugee camp, and instead of himself Mark sends one of his Egyptian friends to receive Juliette at the Airport. In order to ensure his wife’s safety until Mark arrives, he asks his longtime friend Tareq to be her guide through the city. With the beauty of Cairo and fascinated exotic culture, Juliette wishes to share her excitement with Mark, but his duty steals Juliette’ time again and again.

鑑賞後、文化の香り高きカイロの街と大人の愛が重なって蘇る作品。雑誌編集者の女性が、外交官の夫を訪ねて一人カイロに到着する。難民キャンプの現場から離れられない夫は、エジプト男性の友人に妻の出迎えを頼む。初めてやって来た異国の地は、何もかもがエキゾチックで不安と好奇心に心がすくむが、それを受け入れてくれる夫はなかなか妻に合いに来れない。代わりに空港で出迎えてくれたエジプト男性に頼らざるを得なくなるのだが、、、カイロの美しさとエジプトの歴史ある文化に浸りながら、二人の心の引き合いが見事に描かれている。
