Overview

Spinal Column is an Egyptian comedy film starring a man in his forties who has been engaged for years and is determined to find stable work so he can finally marry his beloved, played by Ola Ghanem. His job search becomes a comic odyssey through misadventure: failed stints as an enforcer, a driver, and a buffet worker before landing a position chauffeuring a member of parliament whose corruption gradually comes to light. The film uses its hapless protagonist's bad luck as a vehicle for gentle social satire, skewering the absurdities of bureaucracy, nepotism, and political hypocrisy in a thoroughly entertaining package.
