Laila, is a 2022 Egyptian movie, directed by Youssef Mousa, and starring Mariem Amr, Moheb Ibrahim, Lobna Shahin. with a runtime of 8 minutes.
Laila is a bold romantic drama set in a constructed Eastern society where rigid rules govern women's lives: the veil is mandatory, and marriage is exclusively at a man's choosing. When the spirited Laila refuses to conform to these suffocating traditions, she finds herself drawn into a forbidden love story that puts her in direct conflict with the social order around her. The film uses its invented setting as a mirror, probing universal questions about freedom, female agency, and the personal cost of defying deeply entrenched authority. Provocative and emotionally charged.
