Overview
The City is an Egyptian drama film directed by Yousry Nasrallah that follows Ali, a young aspiring actor from Cairo who works in a state-subsidized butchery while performing in low-budget theater productions. Defying his father's expectations, Ali emigrates to Paris where he joins a community of undocumented Arab residents. The city offers him a transformative experience that reshapes his sense of self and belonging — yet he will only fully comprehend what happened to him once he returns to Egypt. Blending social realism with introspection, the film is a meditation on migration, identity, and the elusive nature of dreams pursued far from home.
