Overview

Mr. Ex is an Egyptian comedy-romance film built around Farid, an enigmatic figure who is far better known for his disappearances than his presence. Driven by a deep-seated psychological complex, Farid has established a clandestine organisation dedicated to helping men divorce their wives, earning himself the alias 'Mr. Ex' in certain circles. His carefully constructed shadow life is upended when Tiba Al-Akkad, the woman he once loved, reappears unexpectedly. Suddenly the architect of other people's separations must confront his own unresolved feelings, caught between the professional identity he has built and a romantic past that refuses to stay buried. The film balances comedy with genuine emotional stakes as Farid navigates the contradictions at the heart of his existence.
