Egyptian stars Asmaa Galal and Yasmin Raeis' latest film "Rehla Albahth A'n Fostan El Zefaf" (The Inevitable Journey Of Finding The Wedding Dress) will world premiere at the 7th edition of El Gouna Film Festival (GFF).
It is set to compete in the Narrative Feature Competition.
The cast also stars Ahmed Khaled Saleh, Salwa Mohamed Ali, and more. It hails from filmmaker Jaylan Auf and is produced by Film Clinic.
"Rehla Albahth A'n Fostan El Zefaf" witnesses the second collaboration between Galal and Raeis after working together on the 2020 horror film "Al-Harith".
The film follows a bride-to-be and her best friend embarking on a journey across Cairo in search of a wedding dress after a mishap with the original gown on the eve of the ceremony.
The official synopsis reads: "Warda’s frantic search for a wedding dress on the eve of the ceremony becomes a journey of self-discovery challenging her relationship with Cairo and herself."
“It’s a social drama about two best friends from a low-income neighborhood. The city is very much part of the story and a character in the film,” Film Clinic founder and head Mohamed Hefzy said in a statement.
Auf commented, "True to its name, this film has been a rollercoaster journey for its characters to find a wedding dress and for us, its filmmakers, to make it and see its magic unfolding on the screen. It is our pleasure that the film gets its world premiere at the El Gouna Film Festival,”.
The 7th edition of the El Gouna Film Festival will take place between October 24 and November 1.
