BFI introduction:
In Chahine’s charming feature debut – a moving tribute to his father –
Amin’s ghost returns from the afterlife to witness his family suffering
the consequences of a shady business deal he was involved in. The film
marked Faten Hamamah’s dazzling screen debut and foregrounds the
socio-political undercurrents that would run through much of Chahine’s
subsequent work.
