Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film captures peak 'Ruby era' Egyptian cinema, when pop stars were shoehorned into every genre possible to boost soundtrack sales.
Director Sherif Sabri essentially launched Ruby's acting career here; she'd abandon film entirely by 2007 to focus on music, making this a fascinating time capsule.
