Overview

The Boss Is the Doorman is an Egyptian comedy crime film that follows Abu Al-Ma'ati, a fugitive from justice who goes underground by disguising himself as the doorman of a residential building. Under this unlikely cover, he falls in with a dancer and the two forge a criminal partnership dealing in prostitution and drug trafficking. Just when their illicit enterprise is running smoothly, Abu Al-Ma'ati's ambitions take a spectacularly absurd turn: he decides to run for political office — without abandoning his criminal lifestyle. A darkly comic satire on social mobility, electoral politics, and moral corruption in Egyptian society, the film uses its larger-than-life protagonist to skewer a system where the unscrupulous somehow always find a path to power.
