Soft Hands - الأيدي الناعمة
$475.00Set in the aftermath of the 1952 Revolution, the story follows Shawkat, a former aristocrat stripped of his wealth and status. Struggling to adapt to the new social realities, he resists working and integrating into the new class society. As his daughters find ways to adjust and thrive, his encounter with Dr. Mahmoud and his sister Karima brings unexpected lessons, challenging his old beliefs and leading him to a deeper understanding of the new world around him. Based on Tawfiq Al-Hakim's story and produced by the public sector, this film subtly promotes the revolutionary ideals.
The poster, designed by Marcel, features Sabah in vibrant colors behind ornate bars, signifying the constraints of the old aristocracy. Below her, monochromatic headshots of Mariam Fakhreddine, Ahmed Mazhar, Salah Zulfikar, and Layla Taher are aligned in a row, emphasizing the theme of social equality in the new era. The purple background and the artistic composition of the poster highlight its unique and eye-catching design, making it a memorable piece of cinematic art that effectively captures the film’s essence.
