I watched this movie with my husband a couple of Thursdays ago and was touched. It is a philosophical and symbolic movie more than anything else. A simple journey of one man in a single day intertwined with his life long journey told simply with amazing music. Perhaps the soundtrack was the best thing about the movie. Most of the songs are sung by Nihal Nabil, I have no idea who she is but her voice is remarkable. You can download the ost album here. It is also kind of strange seeing Ashraf Abdel Ba2i in a movie that is not a comedy. The sombre character he plays is kind of weird but at the same time understandable as the movie progresses. The pace of the movie isn’t slow but kind of lazy and relaxed. It felt more like a book than a movie. Overall I liked it. If you are in a life questioning mood this movie is definitely a good idea. Just beware it’s a sad movie.
