Happy Birthday is a poignant Egyptian debut feature that centers on Toha, an eight-year-old girl working as a maid in a wealthy Cairo household. Despite her circumstances, Toha is determined to give her closest friend Nelly — the affluent daughter of her employer — a birthday party to remember. The film uses the warmth of childhood friendship as a lens to examine the stark class divisions embedded in contemporary Egyptian society, observing inequality through the eyes of a child too young to understand why the world is organized the way it is. A quiet, emotionally resonant drama that announces a bold new voice in Arabic cinema.
