Overview

Bye, Bye is an Egyptian documentary filmed in Cairo during a period of revolutionary upheaval, in which the filmmaker undertakes the intimate act of letting go — sorting through objects accumulated by his parents across generations. Shot inside the family's expansive apartment, whose interior design belongs to an era preceding yet another revolution, the film weaves together personal memory and political history. Meditative and visually rich, it is a deeply personal meditation on inheritance, loss, and what it means to move forward when the past is embedded in every room.
