Anis Zani is a bored and drug-addicted civil servant who is barely holding on to his job. Every evening he hosts a gathering on a houseboat on the Nile, where he and a motley group of cynical and aimless friends share a water pipe full of kif, a mixture of tobacco and marijuana. When a young female journalist-an alarmingly serious person-joins them and begins secretly documenting their activities, the groups harmony starts disintegrating, culminating in a midnight joyride that ends in tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536547545376,"sku":"NEW0385423330","price":16.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71p0bsu-jgL.jpg?v=1777421054","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/adrift-on-the-nile-0385423330","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
