Our Blessed Aunt

Our Blessed Aunt (Arabic: ست الستات, transliterated as Sett al-Settat) is an Egyptian comedy, drama film released on June 29, 1998.

The film is directed and written by Raafat el-Mehi and stars Laila Elwi, Maged el-Masry, and Magda El-Khatib.

Coming back to his aunt Fakiha's apartment, he discovers that it has become a brothel run by a madam who denies that she is related to him.

The comedy's protagonist Abdelaziz (Maged el-Masry) returns to Cairo after working in another unnamed Arab country.

Critic Nisreen al-Rashidi cited the film among others on the website 3ain, remarking that: Egyptian cinema has presented women and dealt with their problems throughout its history, even addressing them by name, sometimes as “mara” [woman] and sometimes as “sitt” [lady]…Here we monitor ten films using the word “sitt” from the earliest days of the silver screen to today.
