Soraya, an Upper Egyptian girl, seeks to discover her identity and purpose in a village dominated by fear, ignorance, and superstition. When her brother falls ill with a strange disease, Soraya tries to work the land in his stead, but her father refuses out of fear of village traditions that shun such work. The mayor exploits the father's helplessness and his son's illness, pressuring him to allow excavations for Pharaonic antiquities on his land. Soraya decides to take action to save her village and her brother.
