Overview

Private Lesson is an Egyptian comedy that uses time travel as a lens to examine how dramatically Egypt changed across half a century. The protagonist Khososy, a young man living in 1950s Egypt, is accidentally transported to 2005 after a bizarre mishap near the Bermuda Triangle. He awakens to find his children fully grown, society transformed beyond recognition, and the values he cherished seemingly obsolete. The film wrings both laughter and pathos from the culture shock of a man decades out of place, as Khososy struggles to understand modern Egyptian life while trying to steer his now-adult children back toward the principles of his era. A warmhearted comedy that uses fantasy to reflect on Egyptian social change.
