YOMEDDINE

Recommended. A moving depiction of life on the lower end of the Egyptian society. Religious predjudice, crime out of control, lawlessness, payable healthcare - a country which doesn't seem to form a state but a gathering of separate individuals each trying to survive their own way. The film slowly reveals the second bottom to the family which abandoned their leprotic child. The revelation is far from obvious to the protagonist and to the western audience alike. A memorable dream scene. A beautiful story altogether.
