Mummies

In the hidden depths beneath the sands of ancient Egypt lies the Underworld, a bustling subterranean city where mummies live out their eternal existences. Its corridors pulse with the glow of relics and the soft cadence of forgotten rites, a place where time moves to a rhythm far removed from the world above. When an unexpected disturbance shatters the veil between eras, three unlikely companions find themselves thrust into the bright chaos of modern London, a city that hums with traffic, neon, and a sky that refuses to bow to the shadows of their homeland.

Thut, a once‑renowned charioteer still raw from the trauma of a fateful crash, clings to his bachelor freedoms even as destiny threatens to bind him forever. By his side is Nefer, a spirited princess whose fierce independence clashes beautifully with Thut’s guarded caution, and Sekhem, the younger brother whose skill with a boomerang hints at both mischief and loyalty. Accompanying the trio is a tiny, ever‑watchful baby crocodile that offers a surprising splash of humor amid the looming unknown.

The film balances the ancient with the contemporary, painting London through the eyes of beings accustomed to darkness and eternity. Every subway ride and bustling market becomes an adventure, as the trio navigates bewildering customs, dazzling technology, and the relentless glare of sunlight that threatens to expose their brittle façades. Their journey is as much about mastering a new world as it is about confronting the inner ghosts that have lingered since their burial.

Among the swirling streets, a sly figure—Lord Carnaby—lurks, his ambitions intersecting with the mummies’ quest to reclaim a stolen Royal Family ring. The tone oscillates between laugh‑out‑loud mishaps and heartfelt moments of self‑discovery, offering a whimsical yet poignant exploration of friendship, identity, and the strange beauty that emerges when the past collides with the present.
