cactus flower (2017)

Synopsis:

Aida, a struggling actress, came to Cairo from the Delta as a university student. One night, she and her neighbour Samiha, a fading bourgeois beauty, are kicked out on the street. With no money and nowhere to go, the two women, aided by Yassin, a street-savvy youth, embark on a labyrinthine journey across physically and mentally difficult terrain.
