Girls (2007 film)

[1] The movie revolves around the life experiences of four girls in their early 20s as soon as they move to the city of Cairo alone with no parental guidance.

Salma, Farah, Heba, and Nihal are shown as children playing around in the village and learning what is right and wrong from their parents.

[2] As a reaction to moving to a new apartment without being watched by anyone, the four of them start having a desire to experience socially inappropriate behaviors like smoking, drinking, dating, and partying.

Sophiya, their neighbor, is a wise woman who acts like their mother and covers their inappropriate behavior when their fathers stop by the apartment to check on them.

The story then moves on to Farah, a girl that came from an extremely conservative Bedouin family and wears a veil at the beginning of the film.

After the film introduces the four characters, the trouble begins when Farah tries to confront the man she gets pregnant from with the issue of her pregnancy.

He refuses to help her by backing off, which leads Salma to stand by her side by paying the bill to abort the baby at the clinic.

[3] Hani Guirguis Fawzi, the producer and distributor of Balad El Banat movie, has been charged by the Trades Union representatives with a certain amount of money for hiring actors in the film that were not permitted to act because they lack the license authorizing them to work as actors.
