Overview

One-Zero is an Egyptian social drama film that follows multiple characters from vastly different backgrounds, each grappling with their own personal crises, psychological tensions, and social pressures. The first half of the film introduces these separate lives in detail, and in the second half their paths begin to intersect and entangle in increasingly complex ways. What unites them all — across class, age, and circumstance — is their shared love of Egypt, crystallized in the national jubilation surrounding Egypt's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations. A multi-strand ensemble film that uses football as a lens to examine contemporary Egyptian society and the fragile bonds that hold it together.
