Southern at the American University
“Upper Egyptian in the American University”
Comedy
Khalaf, a bumpkin southern Egyptian wins a scholarship to study at the American University in Cairo where students - many from Cairo's upper class - are known for their Americanized attitudes.
VIBE
A charming, lighthearted romp about navigating new social circles and unexpected romance. It captures the awkwardness and excitement of a bumpkin finding his footing in a world of Americanized elites, all with a sweet, late-90s feel.
