have read the novel almost a year ago and i be very impatient to watch the movie know the magnificent cast line up to put their talent on display for that movie . i be surprised when i find out that the young actor or actress have match and sometimes exceed their old and more famous counterpart . hend sabry continue her breath taking display with a very natural and heart touch impersonation of bouthina and the poor little girl who find herself surround by a crucial mother ask her to bring money home regardless of how she do so and numerous men try to use her body to satisfy their sexual desire . adel imam and nour el sheriff put the wisdom of year of act into produce very real character from the egyptian society . what come a a a surprise be adel imam son in real life ( the bawab son who become a terrorist ) and khaled el sawy ( the gay ) . no matter what you say about gay and khaled el sawy face the difficult task of make you hate him and then sympathize with him a he recall the lack of attention he get from his parent that cause him to become a gay . also the scene where he try to convince the soldier that he take back home that be gay be not 7aram and that it 7allal . i think this would be his best ever role and he prove himself a a capable actor today . i would say a 9 over 10 and a new record for egyptian cinema . a must see .
