Overview

Behind the Curtain is an Arabic dramatic film set in the golden era of Arab theater, centering on Kamel Bey, the director of Al-Firdaws Theater. Gathered with his theater director and composer, he listens intently to the celebrated singer Abdo performing on the radio and becomes convinced that bringing Abdo in for a new operetta is the only way to restore his theater's faded glory.
