Overview

Ahlam Combars (Dreams of an Extra) is a light Egyptian comedy that turns the camera on the invisible world of movie extras and the margins of the film industry. When one extra inadvertently becomes part of a lie, he seizes the moment to dream of stardom and the recognition he has always been denied. When the film's director decides to play along and embellish the story rather than quash it, a cascade of comic situations follows, each one peeling back another layer of delusion and ambition. The film offers a playful yet pointed look at the gap between the dream of fame and the unglamorous reality of life on the fringes of Egyptian cinema, finding both humor and humanity in the fantasy of overnight success.
