Opening with one of the most memorable shots ever filmed, and screened a year after the initial successes of the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Too Soon, Too Late is a search for the traces left on the landscape of past revolutions in France and Egypt.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
