Dir. Ayten Amin
In a small city on the Nile Delta, 19 year old Souad leads a double life. Conservative and veiled in public, online she obsesses over her appearance and embarks on secret virtual romances.
Featuring astonishing performances from a cast of non-professionals, the film acutely examines the contradictions of teenage life in contemporary Egypt and the challenges of combining traditional values with social media.
