Overview

Souad is an Egyptian drama film directed with intimate sensitivity, following two teenage sisters living in a quiet Nile Delta town in Egypt. While their lives appear ordinary on the surface, one of the sisters leads a double existence — maintaining a hidden online persona that diverges entirely from the identity her family and community know. The film explores the emotional and psychological gap between public conformity and private freedom among young Egyptian women, examining themes of identity, desire, and the quiet tensions that simmer beneath provincial life.
