The Water Carrier is Dead - السقا مات

A water carrier, grieving his wife’s death for twenty years, forms a friendship with a professional mourner who embraces life despite his daily encounters with death. The water carrier is consumed by fear and sorrow, while the mourner's experiences lead him to find joy in every moment. Their contrasting views on life and mortality drive the narrative, highlighting themes of grief, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. Adapted from Yusuf Sibai’s notable novel, the film delves into these profound emotional themes with depth and sensitivity.

The poster captures this duality with a modern design, featuring the two main characters, played by Izzat El-Alayli and Farid Shawqi, in sepia tones framed against a black background. Insets of Shwekar and Amina Rizq add to the visual storytelling, while the geometric design of the title and minimalist color palette of red, blue, and yellow give the poster a contemporary edge, effectively reflecting the film's blend of tradition and modernity.
