A love triangle where the wingman becomes the problem? Classic disaster.
Ezzat and Hassan are friends and co-workers. Hassan admires Soad but he can't tell her about his feelings because of his shyness. He asks his friend Ezzat to tell her instead, but things don't go as expected. Ezzat also receives letters from an unknown person threatening to kill him.
Acting
Samir Ghanem's perfectly pathetic shy-guy energy.
Writing
The death threat subplot nobody asked for but everyone needed.
Director
Omar Abdel Aziz
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film captures 1980s Egyptian cinema's obsession with class-crossing romance and the 'helpful friend' trope that never ends well.
Farouq Al Fishawy was at peak heartthrob status here, making Ezzat's betrayal hit even harder for audiences who wanted to root for him.
