Synopsis
فيلم ثقافى
To watch a pornographic film in Egypt, you need four things: the videotape; a VCR; a television; and a place to watch it. Three horny Egyptian 20-somethings try to pull these elements together in a day-long 'mission-impossible' to watch what is euphemistically called "thaqafi" (cultural) — a codeword for porn meant to keep parents, friends and colleagues out of the loop (and those in the know in).
