Fifty years later, fueled by his lifelong passion for Arabic, he embarks on a journey back to Egypt, the country where he spent his youth. Exploring places he missed during his earlier assignments, he rediscovers Egypt, a land that had become like a second home to him. How has the country changed during this time? What remains common between Egyptians and Russians?
