CGiii Comment

This film was banned in every Arabian country for no other reason than...it is utterly appalling!

If there was the slightest glimmer of talent bouncing around on either side of the camera...the director did a damn fine job in hiding it!

In places, laughably bad...but, at nearly 2 hours, that joke wears thin...pretty quickly.

Maher Sabry has made no more films...a very wise decision.

The(ir) Blurb...

For Rami, all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds, as long as he keeps to himself. But when his longtime lover leaves him to marry a woman and his best friends drift away, he comes face to face with the harsh realities of life as a gay man in Egypt. Against the backdrop of the choreographed crackdown on gay men and the notorious Queen Boat arrests of 2001, he plunges into a world of loveless friendships and spirals downwards to his ultimate downfall.
