Overview

Zuleikha Loves Ashour is a classic Egyptian comedy built around Ashour, a contented husband living happily with his good-natured wife — until a scheming relative decides to break them apart. To achieve this, the conspirator enlists the help of a circus lion-tamer with a talent for seduction, who convinces Ashour that he is irresistibly attractive to women. As Ashour's head swells with newfound vanity, the comedy of errors spirals delightfully out of control. The film uses its absurd premise to gently mock male ego and the fragility of domestic bliss, wrapping its social commentary in lighthearted, warmly satirical humor.
