Overview
Thawrat Al-Banat (Girls' Revolution) is an Egyptian social comedy that champions women's autonomy in matters of the heart. A widow's three daughters — Nadia, Esmat, and Raja — rebel against the old-fashioned matchmaker tradition their aunt recommends, and Nadia goes further by founding an association dedicated to a woman's right to choose her own partner. The journalist Jalal publicly ridicules the idea, then privately falls for Nadia — a hypocrisy he cannot bring himself to resolve. Meanwhile, the shy Esmat finds romance with the equally timid Monem, while the youngest, Raja, takes her independence to its logical conclusion and picks her own fiancé. Warm, witty, and quietly feminist, the film uses comic romance to argue for a more modern Egypt.
