Lost in time and sand, a 3,000-year-old city of mummies rises from the depths of Egypt, where ancient destinies still hum beneath the desert heat. There, under a command that echoes with imperial authority, Princess Nefer is pledged to Thut, a match that neither welcomes. A decree from the gods presses inward, insisting the wedding take place within seven days. Their shared mission becomes crystal clear: locate and deliver the ring Pharaoh entrusted to Thut, keep it intact, and present it at the ceremony as a sign of sacred union. Far above the sands, Lord Carnaby leads an excavation on the brittle crust of the earth and uncovers a tomb hiding a wedding ring that seems to link directly to the old royal pair. It is not just a relic but a beacon—an enduring clue to a past that refuses to stay buried.
As the ancient plot thickens, a chance to carve their names into history shifts to a race against time. Thut learns that the ring has vanished from its rightful place, forcing him to descend into the modern world. The journey sweeps him into the bustling streets of today’s London, a city of glass towers, double-decker buses, and shadows that hide as much as they reveal. He is not alone: his brother Sekhem joins the expedition, a loyal crocodile named Croc tags along, and Nefer stands with them. Together, this unlikely trio must navigate a metropolitan maze, dodge curious onlookers, and outwit guardians of the present who would guard the ring from intruders. Clues lead them through alleys and archives, across crowds and quiet corners, toward the ring’s rightful owner and the promise it represents.
What begins as a rescue mission gradually unfolds into a heartfelt family adventure. The pursuit through London becomes a journey into trust, forgiveness, and the recognition that bonds forged in distant sands can bridge the widest cultural gaps. The ring, symbol of promise and union, acts as a catalyst for surprising encounters and new alliances that reshape the mummies’ plans and their future. The story remains anchored in the idea that kinship outlasts generations and that courage can travel across time to heal old wounds. Narrative threads weave together humor, wonder, and a dash of danger as these travelers learn to read the modern world with the ancient wisdom they carry inside.
Directed by Juan Jesús García Galocha, known as Galo, MOMIAS marks his feature debut after shaping the visuals as art director for Tadeo Jones 2: The Secret of King Midas and crafting the acclaimed animated short Cuerdas.
