The President's Chef is an Egyptian political comedy film that follows Metwali, a down-to-earth street cook who lands the most unlikely job of his life: personal chef to the President of the Republic. Finding himself inside the corridors of power, Metwali becomes an inadvertent bridge between the president and the real lives of ordinary Egyptians, relaying the jokes circulating in the streets, the economic hardships people face, and the grievances they voice daily. His candid dispatches from the world outside the palace walls are refreshing to the president but threatening to those around him who prefer the leader remain insulated from uncomfortable truths. A sharp and playful political satire, the film uses Metwali's simple honesty to expose the absurd distance between power and the people it governs.
