ComedyDrama
Masry el Araby is an American-Egyptian citizen who travels back to his home town (in Egypt) after living in the US for 20 years. He has this idea of Egypt being a wonderful and amazing country, but the idea soon crashes as he faces reality. After arriving in Egypt, Masry is treated badly when he uses his Egyptian Passport. But then when he starts using his American Passport as an identification card, he is paid with a lot of respect. He faces many problems as he loses both passports.

A poignant and often funny look at returning home after a long absence. It captures the awkwardness of rediscovering a place you once knew, now seen through a stranger's eyes. Expect a thoughtful, bittersweet journey.
