A Decent Living is an Egyptian documentary film that follows Ahmed, a quiet, hardworking man from the rural village of Beidif, located roughly 200 kilometers from Cairo. Ahmed's livelihood depends on servicing the cesspits — large underground sewage tanks — that every home in the village relies on. The film observes his daily routine with unflinching intimacy, tracing how this unglamorous and largely invisible profession shapes every dimension of his personal and family life. A thoughtful portrait of labor, dignity, and survival in rural Egypt, the film gives voice to a community and a way of life rarely seen on screen.
