Synopsis
الزعيم
Zeinhom is a simple man who can’t hold down a job for too long, but there is a strong resemblance in looks between him and a dictator of his country.

The real dictator dies and Zeinhom is then forced by the dictator’s government to pretend to be that same man in fear of a revolution against the tyrant.
