Overview

Feathers is a striking Egyptian surrealist film directed by Omar El Zohairy. It follows a passive and self-effacing mother whose life revolves entirely around her authoritarian husband and young children. When a magic trick at her four-year-old son's birthday party goes catastrophically wrong and the husband is turned into a chicken, the mother is thrust into the unfamiliar role of family provider and decision-maker. As she navigates this absurd new reality, the film chronicles a difficult and darkly comic transformation. Feathers won multiple international awards and stands as a bold critique of patriarchal domestic life in Egypt.
