Memories of Utopia tells the story of a Nubian musician who travels from Egypt to the Sudan in search of the Nubian villages that were never flooded. As he travels down the Nile by boat, he meets many Nubians who have returned to their homeland, in search of the life they knew before they were forced to emigrate. Through song and music, Fikry tries to recreate the long ago Nubian nights for him-self as well as those he meets along the way. This is a story of longing, of music and of self-discovery.
