A voice heist so absurd it actually works — Egyptian cinema's most unhinged con.
Aida works at Jalal Wahdan's investment company. Jalal asks her to help him return the savings of the depositors he has defrauded, from a bank in Switzerland that deals with voice prints. She tells Sami, her friend Rawya's husband, about this. Sami undergoes surgery to change his vocal cords, making his voice match Jalal's.
Practical Effects
Pre-CGI voice theft — pure commitment to the bit.
Writing
Banking on voice prints in 1990? Wildly ahead of its time.
Director
Ahmed El-Sabawy

Ezzat Al Alaily reportedly improvised several scenes; the voice-matching montage was shot in a single day on borrowed equipment.
