Adam, the son of a fisherman, is given the chance to study at the
prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Shortly after his arrival, the
institution’s highest-ranking religious leader, the Grand Imam suddenly dies, rendering
him a pawn in the power struggle between Egypt’s religious and political elite.
Awarded Best Screenplay at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Cairo Conspiracy
takes a rugged look through the lens of corruption, power, and politics in
one of the epicenters of Sunni Islamic power. (Sweden, France, Finland,
