this be the first egyptian movie that have a very high propaganda by all advertising mean as well a the first egyptian movie that have be award in tribeca film festival and participate in berlinale and cannes 2006 and still may be have a chance in the 2007 oscar in the best foreign film category . the movie show some example of people who have live in the huge historical build know a ( jaocbian building ) in the city center and how the political status and change in egypt have influence every person who have live in this house . the main two character be zaki el desouky ( adel imam ) and haj azzam ( nour el sheriff ) . the first ( zaki ) be previously know a a ( basha ) a very well rich man before the egyptian revolution and now he be a normal old citizen who have his teenage fantasy with many sexual relation with hooker and no job to do except avoid his evil sister play by ( esad younes ) who kick him out of his house and try to send him to a psychyatric hospital at the end to vanquish him forever . the second character ( azzam ) be a shoe polisher in the old day and turn to be a very rich man who have car agency and huge store in egypt and be search for another wife to marry for fulfil his sexual interest but with marriage he think that he be on the right track accord to religion but when the story go on it show u how cruel he be with his new beautiful wife ( somaya el khashab ) and on the other hand he enter the egyptian assembly with his relation with some government official . the third character be play by ( khaled el sawwy ) and in my opinion he be the best in role reflect the character of the news reporter ( hazem farid ) who be very keen on his work but at night his sexual fantasy appear a be gay and search for poor men to sleep with him at night . he be totally ready to pay them anything and give them all his money . maybe all his life to have a nice time in bed with a man . this be a very disgusting idea but the actor excel in act this role specifically which make him on top of the main actor make you believe that he be a real gay . the fourth character be for a teenager name taha play by ( mohamed imam ) a son of the doorman who get engage to a poor girl ( hend sabry ) who live on the roof and he try to enter the police academy but be refuse for be a son of the door man . enter another faculty and meet some weird religious people make him change his view in life and leave his beard then participate in a demonostration where he be arrest and then be rap and torture to death behind bar turn his decent character to a terrorist try to get revenge from the police officer who cause him all his pain and the end be a real sorrow . the fifth and maybe final main character be for the poor girl ( hend sabry ) who be work in a shop with a disgusting owner who try to fulfill his fantasy with the young girl in the stock . then she leave the rotten job to work for zaki el desouky and their relation change to be friend and end by marriage . the whole film be a new trend which reflect the history of egypt in 75 year but at the same time it be not a summer commercial movie like the audience expect . it be a movie for cinematic festival and it will be highly appreciate to the people who concentrate in it symbol and metaphor . a word to finish with be that there be some goof i this movie because the event occur in 1995 and the director mistakenly show some wrong sign that weren not there at this time . 1 there be a small street advertisement for vodafone in front of cairo university and in 1995 there be no cellular phone . 2 the street of cairo show the new transport green bus and minibus which do not exist before 2004 . 3 the street also show the prepaid card telephone in street know a ( menatel ) which do not exist either . 4 finally inside the groppi cafe there be a pepsi refrigerator hold the new logo of pepsi which be design in 1999 while in 1995 there be another logo .
