Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Diana (Diana Calenti) is a dancer/choreographer living in Toronto. She has a "thing" about Egypt, beginning with having haunting visions of a previous life during the reign of the rebellious monotheistic pharoh Akhenaton. She incorporates some of her uncanny memories in self-performed "ancient Egyptian dance." When she goes to Egypt for real to visit her best friend (Brett Halsey), it turns out that he is troubled by his own past-life memories. Apparently he served the ancient polytheistic priesthood of Egypt during that same period, and his visions prompt him to want to sacrifice Diana to the old gods.
