بـيـبـه امــي بـعـيـد “
بـيـبـه اخــر الـصـعـيـد
“ بـيـبـه و الـصـعـيـد مـات

Inspired by Egyptian men in 80s and 90s leaving their families and going to gulf region countries to work .
It interpreted the feelings of the woman but in a much dystopian dark way . and i live for that . Life is boring but not our feelings and thoughts. and this unique film brought these emotions to the surface .
