A Boy Child, Amen is an Egyptian social comedy that follows Mohamed El-Asyouty, a father who loves his wife Karima and their three adult daughters but carries a nagging disappointment at having no son to inherit his name and business. When two of his daughters marry and bring their husbands into the family home, Mohamed quickly discovers that his new sons-in-law are more of a burden than a blessing. The film mines its premise for gentle humor while offering a sharp critique of the social expectations surrounding gender, inheritance, and the extended family dynamic — delivering its message with warmth and a knowing comic touch.
