The Missing Planet

الليل فقط يتذكر

In development

As a deadly sleeping sickness spreads across Cairo, an Egyptian doctor must stay awake long enough to find his missing wife––but his only hope is his daughter, who guides him in his dreams.

The Missing Planet is a collaboration with Egyptian director Marouan Omara and producers Mark Lotfy of Fig Leaf Studio and Michael Henrichs of DGS. The project has garnered international development support from the Beirut Cinema Platform, the Nipkow Programm, La Fabrique Cinéma, the Torino ScriptLab, and the Hezayah Screenwriting Lab. It was awarded the Robert Bosch Foundation Film Prize and the Eurimages Co-production Development Award at the 2023 Torino ScriptLab.
