A tumultuous neighbourhood known as ‘the alley’ has seen successive heroes rise and fall as they struggle to defend the rights left to them by their great ancestor, Gebelawi. From the supreme feudal lord who disowns one son for pride and puts another to the test, to the saviour who tries to free his people from bondage, the men & woman of the alley seem unable to stop themselves from re-enacting the lives of their holy forbearers. Through their successes and failures, the spiritual history of humankind is revealed.
