Beginning and End - بداية ونهاية
$700.00After their father’s death, a struggling Egyptian family faces dire circumstances. The widowed mother, played by Amina Rizk, supports her three sons and daughter Nafisa. Hassan turns to crime, Hussein leaves for work, and Hassanein's police training is funded by his siblings' earnings. Unbeknownst to them, Nafisa, portrayed by Sanaa Gamil, has become a prostitute to help the family. Directed by Salah Abu Seif and based on a novel by Naguib Mahfouz, the film also stars Farid Shawqi and Omar Sharif.
The poster captures the film’s dramatic essence with Sanaa Gamil depicted in a seductive pink nightdress, seemingly fallen to the floor. She looks fearfully at a policeman, symbolizing the revelation of her sacrifices. The backdrop includes a sketch of an alley over a grey background, next to a black frame that highlights the characters. This visually striking poster effectively conveys the film's intense themes and emotional depth.
