Egyptian director Karim El Shenawy's Egyptian-Saudi film "Daye: Seret Ahl El Daye" ("The Tale of Daye's Family") is set to release in theatres across Egypt on Wednesday, September 3.
Sharing the trailer on Instagram, El-Shenawy described the pic as “a complete cinematic journey of love, family, struggle, ambition, and hope.”
Written by Haitham Dabbour, "Daye: Seret Ahl El Daye" follows Daye, a talented 14-year-old Nubian albino singer, who faces challenges but dreams big. Motivated by his idol, he embarks on a family trip to Cairo.
The official synopsis reads: "Daye is a 14-year-old Nubian albino with a golden voice. He is bullied for his unique appearance and abandoned by his father, but Daye does not let it get him down. He dreams of becoming a singer like his idol, Mohamed Mounir. When he gets the chance to audition for “The Voice”, Daye and his family embark on the perilous journey from Aswan to Cairo. Their path is fraught with challenges: a car is stolen, savings are lost, they have to flee from the police and they face discrimination. But their love for each other and Daye’s extraordinary talent help them to get through,".
"They also receive help from unexpected quarters, including a friendly firefighter – and an inspiring encounter with Mounir himself,".
"Daye is a story about resilience, hope and the power of music. It explores themes of identity, ambition and the unbreakable bond of family, showing how determination and love can triumph over adversity."
The film stars Badr Mohamed, Islam Mobarak, Haneen Saeed, Mohamed Mounir, Aseel Omran, Mohamed Mamdouh, and Ahmed Helmy.
It is co-produced by Blue Print, Synergy, Film Square, Misr International Films, Red Star, CineWaves, and Orient Productions.
