Dream Away, is a 2019 Egyptian movie, directed by Marouan Omara and Johanna Domke. with a runtime of 86 minutes.
Dream Away is a hybrid documentary filmed in the deserted resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in the wake of the terrorist attacks that left the once-thriving tourist destination eerily empty. The film follows a group of hotel staff — stranded between their duties and a world that has stopped coming to them — as they reflect on their lives, dreams, and the clash between Eastern and Western cultures that defines their daily reality. Stunning and quietly surreal, Dream Away transforms an Egyptian holiday resort into a meditative space, exploring what it means to wait for a world that may not return.
