The Boatman

by Sameh Mahran, translated by Dina Amin

Directed by Liz Carlin-Metz

Featuring Gloria Imseih Petrelli as The Young Woman, Tommy Malouf as The Young Man, Rom Barkhordar* as The Policeman/The Boatman, and Tina El Gamal as The Policeman’s Wife

This surreal satire follows an Egyptian couple who have been engaged for seven years. Unable to marry because they cannot afford an apartment, the couple begins a quest for a space to be intimate. The Boatman explores the exploitation and humiliation of the weak and the poor.
