“Cairo of 1905 lives by and in its cafes.  But suddenly the café culture is being threatened by gangs in the protection racket, and so one seems to know who is behind them that the usual political clubs or is it something more sinister – a conspiracy of Cairo’s Mingrelian.  Who exactly are these Mingrelians, and what is their connection with the Der of Babylon?  And what is the real tale the storytellers are telling?”
