Bittersweet
Directed by Khaled Marei
Produced by United Bros. Studios, Shadows Communications
A wry, introspective comedy-drama about an Egyptian-American's disorienting homecoming, where nostalgia collides with the messy reality of belonging and identity.
An Egyptian-American returns to his homeland after twenty years abroad, filled with nostalgia and high hopes. But as he reconnects with his roots, he finds himself caught between two worlds—and begins to experience the reality of a country he thought he knew.
