A Knight on Horseback, is a 2001 Egyptian movie, directed by Atef Salem, and starring Mona Zaki, Fadia Abdel Ghani, Ezzat Abu Ouf. with a runtime of 85 minutes.
A Knight on Horseback is an Egyptian historical drama set three decades after the end of World War II. A British woman travels to the Commonwealth War Cemetery at El-Alamein to pay her respects at the grave of her officer husband who died in the desert campaign — only to discover that his grave cannot be found. What begins as a pilgrimage of grief becomes a haunting search for a man erased from the official record of war. The film uses the woman's quest to revisit the Battle of El-Alamein through an intimate, personal lens, asking what it means when history fails to account for the sacrifice of an individual. A poignant exploration of loss, memory, and the anonymous human cost of great historical conflicts.
