تدور أحداث “يوم الدين” حول بشاي، وهو رجلُ شفىً من مرض الجذام ولكنه مازال يحمل اثأر المرض بجسده، ويعيش في مًستعمرة لم يغادرها يوماً. بعد وفاة زوجته، يقرر بشاي أن ينطلق في رحلة في قلب مصر بحثاً عن جذوره، فيغادر على حماره بصحبة أوباما، الصبي النوبي اليتيم الذي يرفض مفارقته أينما ذهب.

Beshay - a man cured of leprosy - has never left the leper colony in the Egyptian desert where he has lived since childhood. Following the death of his wife, he finally decides to go in search of his roots. With his meager possessions strapped to a donkey cart, he sets out. Quickly joined by Obama, the Nubian orphan he has taken under his wing, Beshay will cross Egypt and confront the world with all its sorrows, its hardships and moments of grace, in his quest for a family, a place to belong, and a little humanity.
