The INTERFILM jury awards a film about a world where truth is disregarded. A young man visits the prestigious al-Azhar University in Cairo and gets caught up in the power struggle between the political and religious elite there. He is forced into a system where religion is being used as a mask.

The film reveals the source of real wisdom and personal conviction of the main character. Some may call him Angel or just a “boy from heaven”.
