Our take

A hectic cab ride through the maze of Cairo’s streets turns into a confrontation between three people from vastly different backgrounds. Director Ahmad Abdalla’s humorous take on issues of class and gender perfectly captures the simmering tensions among diverse strata of Egyptian society.
