Cactus Flower

Aida, a 33-year-old struggling actress from a provincial background finds herself homeless on the streets of Cairo, alongside her reclusive neighbour Samiha, a 70-year-old bourgeois woman. With no money and nowhere to go, the two women, aided by Yassin, a 20-year-old street-savvy youth, set out to find shelter. Amid the banal—and, at times, disastrous—turns their journey takes, they embark on parallel journeys of self-discovery. An extraordinary friendship grows between the unlikely trio, like a delicate flower blooming from a thorny cactus.
