Overview

Sweet Oblivion (Al-Nawm Fi Al-Asal) is an Egyptian thriller drama that centres on a mysterious epidemic spreading through the city: men are suddenly afflicted with sexual impotence, a condition no one wants to publicly acknowledge. Colonel Magdy, investigating through his police work, teams up with an activist journalist to uncover the truth — only to find themselves up against an official wall of denial and deliberate suppression. What should be a public health crisis becomes a conspiracy of silence, exposing the fragility of institutions that choose cover-up over accountability. A sharp, provocative Egyptian thriller with strong social undertones.
