🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around a sharp socio-political conflict, using it as a springboard for dark comedy. It relies on grotesque everyday situations to explore how ideology infiltrates private life, pushing an ordinary person to the brink.

What lingers after the viewing is a sharp satire where the personal drama of selling an apartment becomes a metaphor for collective anxiety. It leaves one pondering the borders we are willing to patrol. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Amr Arafa
