The Kit Kat

Sheikh Hosni lives with his mother and son and spends his days dreaming of riding a motorcycle and smoking Hashish.

He won best director for Al-Kit Kat at the Biennale Des Cinemas Arabes in Paris, France and also at the Damascus Film Festival in Syria in the year 1992.

Al-Kit Kat is unlike any other Arab film; it showcases the despair and struggles of the characters under the guise of comedy and laughter.

[4] Sheikh Hosni, the film's main character and protagonist, lives with his son Youssef and his old mother following his wife's death.

His son dreams of leaving Egypt to find work in Europe – and he plans to achieve this by convincing his father to sell the house – and he has an affair with a recently divorced woman named Fatima, who also lives in the Kit Kat neighborhood.
