Overview

Massege is a light Egyptian comedy centered on Saleh, a schoolteacher with a lifelong dream of spending a summer vacation abroad. With his finances stretched thin, he takes out a bank loan to cover the trip's costs and begins counting down the days with growing excitement. As departure day approaches, however, unexpected complications begin to pile up, putting the whole adventure in jeopardy. The story finds gentle humor in the relatable struggles of the Egyptian middle class — their aspirations, bureaucratic headaches, and the gap between dreams and reality — asking one deceptively simple question: will Saleh ever make it onto that plane?
