Overview

What Are You is an Egyptian comedy-drama built around the wandering journey of an eccentric stranger whose habit of posing innocent, probing questions to random people reveals the full spectrum of human nature. As he makes his way through encounters with strangers, he finds genuine warmth and friendship among the kind-hearted, while attracting hostility from those with darker intentions. The film uses its unusual premise to offer a gently comic and quietly philosophical look at identity, community, and the surprising depths uncovered by a simple, earnest question.
