Trapped revolves around a number of women from different walks of life whose destinies are tied together; being all under one siege. As the events unfold, their own personal stories reflect on a far bigger siege that depicts the shackles imposed by a patriarchal society.

인쇄업계에서 은퇴한 마흐무드는 작은 복사 가게를 운영하며 살아간다. 이따금 손님들이 맡기는 문서 복사나 타이핑 작업으로 소소한 수입을 얻고, 가게 앞에 앉아 거리와 이웃들의 삶을 지켜보는 게 그의 주요 일과다. 어느 학생이 맡긴 문서를 통해 공룡의 멸종에 대해 알게 된 마흐무드는 자신의 삶과 멸종된 공룡 사이에 비슷한 점들을 발견하게 된다. 이대로 멸종되어 사라져 갈 삶의 방식을, 우울한 현실을 바꾸고 싶다는 일념에 용기를 낸 그는 규칙적이고 안온했던 지금까지의 일상을 벗어나기로 한다. 건물주의 부당함에 맞서기도 하고, 다양한 이웃사촌들과 부대끼며 새로운 활기를 찾아가는 마흐무드의 삶에, 크고 작은 사건들과 함께 예기치 못한 사랑이 다가온다.

Moderation, set in Egypt, Greece and Italy, revolves around a female horror director (Maya Lubinsky) and a screenwriter (Anna De Filippi), whose latest collaboration is haunted by encounters with its 'raw material' and the escalation of conflicting desires. Faced with the disintegration of their project, the director becomes more and more drawn into conversations with the actors she has cast (Aida El Kashef, Michele Valley and Giovanni Lombardo Radice), which reflect on the way horror traverses the affective and material realities of their lives on and off screen.

When 24-year-old Hend Nafea is arrested and tortured for demonstrating peacefully in Cairo's Tahrir Square, her pursuit of justice reflects post-revolution Egypt at an uncertain crossroads.

The Square looks at the hard realities faced day-to-day by people working to build Egypt’s new democracy. Cairo’s Tahrir Square is the heart and soul of the film, which follows several young activists. Armed with values, determination, music, humor, an abundance of social media, and sheer obstinacy, they know that the thorny path to democracy only began with Hosni Mubarek’s fall. The life-and-death struggle between the people and the power of the state is still playing out.

시력 손상으로 수술 후 작품에 만족하지 못하고 있는 유명 사진작가, 동물실험을 강하게 반대하지만 간 경화증 진단을 받고 약물에 대한 그의 저항에 의문을 가지게 되며 자신이 맞서 싸우던 사람들에게 의존해야만 하는 상황에 놓인 자이나교의 교수, 그리고 젊은 인도 증권 중개인이 겪어 내고 있는 이야기를 풀어낸 영화.

The story of a prostitute "Mona Farkha" through a meeting with the director and the scenarist of the movie who don't know anything about her world.

8 characters skew lifelines that never really intersect in the suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo within a frame of time of 24 hours all in a very stagnant state and never achieving goals.

A romance full of emotions, adventure and humor, the love of a lifetime is what the film is about. But between this boy and girl the story is not that simple. Although their bond is unbreakable they keep separating over the years. It's not circumstantial forces or even external pressures, but the very individuality of each is what keeps getting in the way in spite of all the love that's cherished within. In tracking their early zigzagged path the film delves into the complex and intricate web of inner conflicts that arise between young men and women of this age and ultimately innovatively poses the eternal question: Can Adam and Eve live happily ever after ?
