Egyptian writer and director Ahmad Abdalla brings a timely look of generational conflict in contemporary Egypt. After a long absence in the US, a man returns home to Alexandria to find the society in turmoil where the old establishment rejects the movement of the youth. Abdalla's focus is on the culture, specially the arts and music. He blurs the line between drama and documentary like Bahman Ghobadi did with his similar themed "No One Knows About Persian Cats" about the underground music culture.
