Plot
Freed from prison, a man returns to his family village in Egypt, and his family, the leader and the people react in a musical drama.
Sinekatalog’s take
Youssef Chahine's Egyptian musical drama, Awdat al-ibn al-dal, is a political and personal allegory, bright, odd and critical of the system.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
