Zaman El Aqwia', is a 1991 Egyptian movie, directed by Ahmed Tharwat, and starring Hatem Zulfiqar, Farida Saif Elnasr, Sabry Abdelmonem. with a runtime of 90 minutes.
Zaman El Aqwia' is a gritty Egyptian drama exposing the brutal power dynamics of slum life. Abed runs a criminal racket centered on the local cemeteries, enlisting his partner Al-Deeb to sell the bodies of the dead to medical students and extort housing from families who own burial yards. His dominance extends into his personal life when he marries Loza — the same woman Al-Deeb has long desired in silence. But when Abed is jailed on drug charges, Al-Deeb wastes no time stepping into his shoes. The film is an unsparing look at how corruption breeds its own succession and how power in marginal communities is seized, not earned.
