Egypt 2023 120 mins (Dir. Tarek Saleh) starring Tawfeek Barholm, Fares Fares, Mohammad Bakri
Adam, the son of a fisherman, is offered the ultimate privilege to study at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the epicentre of power of Sunni Islam. Shortly after his arrival in Cairo, the university’s highest ranking religious leader, the Grand Imam, suddenly dies and Adam soon becomes a pawn in a ruthless power struggle between Egypt’s religious and political elite. Fine performances, sophisticated script and interesting insight into the life of Egypt’s most prestigious university. There are also themes of ethical choices, family, sacrifice, exploitation, hope and human nature. A daring, thought-provoking, philosophical film.
