I Want a Solution - أريد حلاً

When a woman seeks a divorce from her philandering and abusive husband, he refuses and tells her she will have to go to family court to file for divorce. Her nightmare experience reveals the inequities of an outdated and cruel system. This film is regarded as one of the most important and influential social dramas of its generation, and footage from the Family Affairs Law Court is used to successfully point out pervasive injustice in the court's operations. This film stars silver screen icons Faten Hamama and Rushdy Abaza.

The poster is dominated by Fatem Hamama's anguished face, the only color in a poster that is otherwise a stark black and white. Rushdy Abaza is depicted with his back literally turned, completely indifferent to his wife's misery. This is a critical document and collectible of a uniquely important film from the Egyptian cinema.
