Fish, Milk, Tamarind (Arabic: سمك لبن تمر هندي, transliterated as Sabak laban tamr hendy) is an Egyptian film released on November 21, 1988.
Co-starring actress Maali Zayed confirms that “it is all smoke and mirrors.” The veterinarian Dr. Ahmed (Abdel Aziz) wakes up in the morning to find his sister (Aisha Al-Kilani) complaining about the water being off and his mother (Huda Zaki) looking at the picture of his brother who has traveled abroad for work.
An Interpol officer named Malik (Youssef Dawoud), however, refuses to hand over the body, claiming that the father was a terrorist and insinuating that Ahmed and Qadara are as well.
[1]As the website Kololk puts it, Fish, Milk, Tamarind is one of the most beautiful and best films of actor Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, director-writer Raafat el-Mehi, and the latter’s assistant Maher al-Sisi.
[3]Abdel Rahman Badawi writes in Al-Ahram that “Rafaat el-Mehi is politically audacious in presenting views that stimulate contemplation and controversy alike.
