Tamarind is a classic Egyptian romantic drama film that tells the story of Tamr Henna, a beautiful and spirited Romani girl who dances at popular festivals and is in love with Hassan, her fellow performer. When Ahmed, the son of the wealthy local mayor, becomes captivated by her, he tells his father she is the daughter of a wealthy pasha in order to win a bet — a lie that sets off a chain of romantic and social complications no one could have anticipated. The film is a charming exploration of love across class lines, built around the colorful world of Egyptian folk celebrations and the unpredictable nature of the heart.
