Travelling across post-revolution Egypt, the filmmakers meet with followers of Islam’s mystical Sufi traditions to learn how they experience and understand the attainment of light (nur). Many describe the unseen dimension as safe, clear, peaceful and protective, leading the documentarists to see parallels with other religious experiences and reflect on the universal importance of light in spirituality.
