Photo Copy: Written by Egyptian Journalist and Scriptwriter, Hesham Dabbour, Photo Copy went on to win accolades including the best Arabic Feature at the Gouna Film Festival for its realistic portrayal of an old man and the hardships he has to face post his retirement. Where do you see yourself in five years? A standard question asked at all job interviews. A simple question that opens a pandora’s box of doubts on life’s deeper purpose. Mahmoud Hemida plays his namesake in the movie as a retired old man whose job at a printing press has become obsolete owing to technological advancements. While he deals with a crusty landlord demanding rent and growing feelings for his neighbor Safeeya played by Sherine Reda.

This movie is no different. The story follows the journey of an ordinary middle-aged family man and bank clerk played by Khaled Al Sawy who loses his job. Burdened with financial responsibilities, he receives a call from an unknown person that could help him make a quick buck and change his life forever!
