The Stories
Directed by Abu Bakr Shawky
Amir El-Masry, Valerie Pachner, Karim Kassem, Ahmed ElAzaar, Nelly Karim
The Stories is a decades-spanning Egyptian family saga and love story set between the late 1960s and 1980s. The film follows Ahmed, a young man from a modest Cairo family who dreams of becoming a concert pianist. During the tense summer of 1967, as war looms over Egypt, he begins a pen-pal correspondence with an Austrian woman named Elizabeth (“Liz”). A semi-autobiographical film based on the director's parents and how they met.
