Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1980s Egyptian cinema loved 'working woman' comedies that poked at conservative family values while ultimately reinforcing them—this walks that tightrope with Abla Kamel's chaotic energy.
Director Tharwat El-Ashry specialized in female-led comedies that let actresses go absolutely feral; this might be Abla Kamel's most unhinged performance in a career defined by unhinged performances.
