The first year of change from the personal point of view of three Egyptian artists, who participated actively in the uprising – provocative tales from revolutionary Cairo.
They were standing in the very centre of the storm, when in January 2011 Cairo’s Tahrir Square was shaken about and the old orders of Egypt started to crumble. Laila Soliman – theatre director, Hala Elkoussy – filmmaker and artist and Karima Mansour – choreographer: three young women, three female artists. This documentary follows them
through a difficult year of change.
As typical representatives of a new and young generation, already at home in a globalized world with all their senses and their minds, Laila Hassan Soliman, Hala Elkoussy and Karima Mansour refuse to accept the deadlock the Egyptian society finds itself in – provocative tales from revolutionary Cairo.
