Souad (12A)

Nineteen-year-old Souad lives in a small city to the north of Cairo on the Nile Delta with her taciturn father Abdallah, mother Nagwa and younger sister Rabab. Like her friends Amira and Wessam, Souad leads a double life: polite and veiled in public, provocative and outspoken in private. Using her mobile phone, she communicates with her Alexandria-based boyfriend Ahmed. When Souad's path takes an unexpected detour, the rest of the family deals with the consequences.
