Legitimate Father, is a 1988 Egyptian movie, directed by Nagy Angelo, and starring Nadia Lotfi, Mahmoud Yassin, Shoukry Sarhan. with a runtime of 103 minutes.
Legitimate Father is an Egyptian social drama centered on Sharifa, a middle-aged widow who has devoted herself entirely to running the textile factory she inherited from her late husband and to raising her family alone. Her disciplined, duty-bound world is shaken by an unsettling discovery: her daughter has fallen in love with their neighbor, a man old enough to be her father. The revelation forces Sharifa to confront a conflict she never anticipated — caught between her own sense of what is right and the emotional reality of a daughter who is no longer a child. The film handles its delicate premise with sensitivity, drawing on the everyday tensions between parental authority and personal freedom in an Arab family context.
