Overview

My One and Only Love is an Egyptian romantic comedy built on the irresistible premise of two cousins reluctantly trapped in a marriage of convenience. When their uncle's will stipulates that Farid and Yasmina must marry each other to claim a substantial inheritance, they agree — on paper — while privately planning to separate the moment the money is in hand. A honeymoon trip to the ancient city of Aswan is meant to be nothing more than a formality, but the beauty of the setting and the forced intimacy of their arrangement work against their practical intentions. Slowly and inevitably, a real emotional bond takes hold. The film is a charming, warmly comedic exploration of how love has a way of finding people who are trying hardest to avoid it.
