Synopsis

Duse

In the years between WWI and the rise of Fascism, legendary thespian Eleonora Duse shocks everyone by getting back onstage at over 60 years of age. Struggling with the brutality of historical events unfolding and clinging to the possibility of utopia, she makes her art a revolutionary act, even at the cost of sacrificing health and affection—facing her final journey aware she could give up life itself, but not her own true nature.

Little Dreams

Gharib recalls his life’s journey, which intersects with what the city of Suez experienced over two centuries through the Triple aggression and the Defeat of 1967. Gharib meets Mahmoud, who had been with his father in the people's resistance and they work together in resistance activities.
