The Watermelon, is a 1972 Egyptian movie, directed by Mohamed Khan, and starring Muhammed Kenawy. with a runtime of 9 minutes.
The Watermelon is an Egyptian short film that offers a quiet, observational window into a single day in the life of an ordinary middle-class clerk in Cairo during the early 1970s. Without melodrama or grand gestures, the film draws its power from the texture of daily routine — the small rituals, pressures, and small pleasures that define working-class Egyptian life in that era. A socially attuned and visually restrained portrait, The Watermelon belongs to a tradition of Egyptian cinema that finds depth and meaning in the seemingly unremarkable corners of everyday existence.
