Co-authors Frédéric Wilner and Moataz Madi helm a probing documentary that follows the University of Geneva’s archaeological mission at Saqqâra. Their camera traces the unearthing of a tomb attributed to the vizier Ouni, raising questions about its ownership and purpose. The film blends measured investigative pacing with textured imagery of dust, stone and inscription, exploring themes of memory, legacy and the politics of archaeological narrative. Intimate interviews and revelatory finds create a contemplative, suspenseful atmosphere that foregrounds the human stories behind ancient monuments.
