LatestYasmine faces the scenes of what could be her final film. Hamdi is preparing to travel to the Maldives.
Starring Hesham Maged and Asmaa Galal, House Duties follows Hamdi, a forensic doctor, and his wife as they desperately search for a home manager to help with their newborn twins. What follows is a parade of wildly unsuitable candidates — phone-addicted, boundary-crossing and thoroughly chaotic — while Hamdi's own bizarre cases at work add to the mayhem. A sharply written, situation-comedy standout praised for its wit and performances.
Acting
Hesham Maged's perfect deadpan panic
Writing
Sharp observations on Egyptian middle-class hiring culture
Creators
Khaled Diab, Sherine Diab
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'home manager' title deliberately satirizes Egypt's complicated employer-servant linguistic gymnastics around class.
Real forensic doctors consulted on set; Hesham Maged performed actual autopsy demonstrations that were too realistic for some takes.
