Daoud Abdel Sayed
Feature Film | Egypt | 2010 | 133 min.
A stunningly beautiful meditation on existence, memory, love and social disintegration, the story follows a medical student painfully self-conscious about his speech impediment, returning to his native city of Alexandria following the death of his mother. Becoming a fisherman, he befriends a bodyguard, reunites with his lover from youth and falls in love with a prostitute. He witnesses the drastic changes in society which was once home to a multi-cultural society of Egyptians, Greeks, Italians, Christians, Muslims and Jews. But now, a new form of Islamic driven capitalism is transforming the city into a mono-culture that ignores this past, rich complexity.
