Cairo Calling background

Cairo Calling

A cultural awakening unfolds as a young man strives to impress his Egyptian mother by revamping his life and presenting a perfect image to his friends.

Ahmed's life is turned upside down when his mother announces an extended visit to Montreal, forcing him to clean up his act and convince his friends to play along. However, his mother has her own plans, and her open-ended ticket means she's not leaving anytime soon. As she tries to impose her traditional values on Ahmed and his friends, she'll soon discover that sometimes what you wish for can have unintended consequences.
