This is a touching movie. I haven't been a fan of Amr Salama before, but he outdone himself in this one. Nice visuals and silky smooth storytelling. The film captured the 80s in rural Egypt very well, a subculture rarely discussed. Sometimes kids around Nour (the main character) look like NPCs and this could've been easily avoided. However it is still stunning work. We need more films like this one.
