Thirst

Egypt, France, Sweden \ Arabic \ 120 min

Director: Marwan Hamed

Producer: Patrice Nezan

Synopsis:

Egypt in the near future. True heir of an ancient Nubian clan, Yehia is deprived of his leader position because of his uncle. What begins as a story of a tribal revenge slowly turns into a quest for truth, where Yehia witnesses the injustice and corruption ruling Egypt since water has more value than oil. Through the use of the rooted myth of Horus in the Egyptian and Nubian history, Thirst illustrates how the next ecological disaster is getting closer to us.
