Directed by Khaled El Hagar, 2000, 97 min, English

As part of the 5th EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) Film Festival, the FNCC presents:

Inspired by director El Hagar's own experiences living in London, the bittersweet comedy tells the story of Egyptian writer Ali, who is struggling to stay afloat in London as his visa runs out. His only hope of staying on is to find a British woman who is willing to marry him. The trouble is fake marriages cost money, something Ali is a little short of. Finding somewhere to live is also far from straightforward.
