ABOUT AL ASLEYEEN
Samir Eliwa is the head of a small family and an employee in a bank for years, but he suddenly gets fired after a decision to reduce labor. During his search for a new job he discovers that his bank account is mysteriously depleted. Al Asleyeen (dir. Marwan Hamed, 2017) shows a darker side of Egyptian society when a few days after being fired, Samir opens a box with a cell phone in it and a note instructing him to use his fingerprint to unlock it. He watches a mysterious video about his past, before he receives a phone call that changes his life forever.
