Nutshells, is a 1995 Egyptian movie, directed by Khairy Beshara, and starring Mahmoud Yassin, Mohamed Henedi, Hussein Fahmy. with a runtime of 123 minutes.
Nutshells (Qishr Al-Bunduq) is an Egyptian social drama film that shines a sharp, unsparing light on poverty and inequality. When Raouf, the manager of a struggling hotel, launches an eating competition as a gimmick to attract guests and reverse his falling revenues, he gets far more than he bargained for. Hundreds of impoverished and hungry men and women flood the contest — not for fun, but for survival. What was designed as a promotional event quickly becomes a human tragedy, exposing the vast gulf between those who manage failing businesses and those who cannot afford to eat. The film is a quietly devastating portrait of social disparity dressed in the clothes of an absurd premise.
