Tamr Henna - تمر حنة

$995.00

Ahmad, a wealthy man, falls in love with a gypsy dancer and decides to transform her into a refined socialite to win a bet and gain his family's acceptance. As Tamr Henna, portrayed by Naima Akif, navigates her new role in high society, a love triangle emerges with Hassan, the carnival strongman, played by Rushdy Abaza, who is determined to reclaim his former lover. The film, set in a time when gypsies roamed freely in Egypt, uniquely showcases their vibrant culture while exploring themes of love, identity, and social acceptance.

The poster vividly captures the film's dramatic essence. Naima Akif stands in a striking red bellydancer suit, with Rushdy Abaza behind her holding a dagger, symbolizing the tension and danger in the story. Scenes of gypsy tents provide context, while an inset monochrome illustration of Ahmed Ramzy and Naima Akif hints at the love triangle's complications. This rare poster, with its bold imagery and cultural significance, is a cherished piece for collectors and fans of classic Egyptian cinema.
