My first serious experience with Egyptian cinema, and honestly, it was an interesting start. A film with deep psychological confusion and a beautiful dramatic atmosphere, despite some strange and illogical touches-like the mother's sudden death.

The story pulled me in, especially her relationship with the hairdresser and her struggle with her ex-husband, who was truly suffocating. The ending was harsh and painful, but one of those endings that leave a lasting impact.

Technically, there were clear flaws, but the performances-especially from Soad Hosny-made the experience worthwhile.

7/10, and not a bad start with a cinema I hadn't really followed before, but I definitely plan to continue with it.
