The chair carrier
Sayed is a defeated human being living in the slums of old Cairo where he is constantly bombarded with government propaganda. He crosses paths with an ancient Egyptian porter carrying a throne and wondering in search of his lost king. Now Sayed wants to be seated too 'even for 5 minutes to see how it feels'. This political allegory is a study of the inherent self-imposed oppression in third world nations.
After the US invasion of Iraq, an Egyptian headmaster sponsors a young inventor to create a deterring weapon out of fear his country will be next.
Emir of the Sect
Averroes defendeu no século XII que não havia nenhum conflito entre a fé e a razão, irritando uma seita de muçulmanos extremistas defensores do irracionalismo que fizeram de tudo para calar o filósofo.
