The Cairo Trilogy

Omar Sharif stars in this compelling three-part drama based on Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz's novels, showcasing the struggles of a middle-class Egyptian family as they navigate the shifting landscape of post-colonial Egypt. Centered around the strict patriarch Al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad and his gently oppressed family members, the trilogy explores generational conflict in the face of modernity and socio-political upheaval during the 1920s. With a talented all-Egyptian cast, this adaptation vividly reflects the family's challenges alongside the tumultuous changes sweeping through their country.
