Looking towards the sky, is a 2004 Egyptian movie, directed by Kamla Abu Zekry, and starring Sami Maghouri, Sedky Sakhr, Magda Mounir. with a runtime of 10 minutes.
Looking Towards the Sky is a short film that explores the interior world of a young Cairo woman gripped by guilt and terror after committing perjury. Caught flirting with a boy on a bridge over the Nile by her uncle, she swears on the Qur'an and tells a lie to escape his accusations — an act that immediately haunts her with the weight of religious transgression. She retreats into her home, shutting herself away in prayer, unable to escape the fear of divine punishment for her sacrilegious oath. When her uncle is suddenly hospitalised, she reads the event as unmistakable proof of God's justice in action. A nuanced, intimate portrait of faith, conscience, and the particular terror of a young woman navigating religion, family pressure, and moral failing.
