Overview

Badal Faqed is an Egyptian drama film that explores the age-old question of nature versus nurture through the story of identical twins separated at birth. One twin is raised by a dancer in a marginalized, impoverished neighborhood and grows up to become a drug dealer; the other is taken in by a respectable, well-off family and becomes a police officer. When fate brings these two opposing worlds into collision, the film poses searching questions about free will, identity, and whether the circumstances of one's upbringing truly determine the course of a life. A compelling character study dressed in the clothes of a social thriller.
