Synopsis:

Director Yousry Nasrallah satirizes Egyptian social and political tensions in this lively comedy. With his blonde hair and communist beliefs, Noubi (Zaki Fateen) stands out from his fellow countrymen. Rejecting the trappings of his wealthy materialistic family including the ultra-luxury Egyptian status symbol - a Mercedes Benz, he creates chaos with his plan to donate his inheritance to the communist party. When his gay brother disappears, Noubi’s search takes him on an adventure filled with belly dancers, soccer fanatics and Muslim fundamentalists.
