This film by the auteur duo of Corinne van Egeraat and Petra Loma presents the intimate testimony of four young Egyptian women. It is more than mere observation; the heroines of the film themselves operate the cameras, via which they reveal their inner lives. Their dreams, feelings and desires contrast with the chaotic reality of post-revolutionary Egypt. Their sensitivity and creative approach to the outside world appears not only in the stories that they tell but also in the visual depiction of their world. Egypt has experienced a major political change, but the inner revolt that is playing out in the women's souls is still waiting for the right moment to transform society. (One World)
