Overview

The Carriage and the Horse is an Egyptian comedy film that takes a playful look at the behind-the-scenes chaos of filmmaking. When the production of a romantic drama hires Alwan, a carriage driver, to supply a horse and cart for the shoot, his presence on set becomes a comic catalyst. Alwan mistakes the actors' scripted expressions of love for genuine romance, growing increasingly jealous and agitated — and repeatedly derailing the production in the process. A fun meta-comedy that pokes affectionate fun at Egyptian cinema through the eyes of an outsider who can't quite believe what he sees.
