dead town, dead life

Abandoned by God, a group of Egyptian policemen appeared out of thin air at the Israeli airport; the surroundings were dead and lifeless. No one cares about them, they are abandoned people, they are going to Peter Hack's tile, who knows that there is a place called Bid Huck's tile in this country. This is a lifeless town. The bus only leaves once a day. If you miss it, you will not be able to go. As a result, these Egyptians involuntarily intervened in the lives of others. And the residents of the town, willingly or reluctantly, made life stormy. Yet this is a place where the inhabitants live as if they were dead, and live lifelessly.

Everyone, every family, has their own life, their own problems, their own troubles. The old regiment commander was a serious and conservative soldier. When he was on the phone, he always put his name on the front. Rory talked a lot, and the other party didn't have the patience to listen. He looks like a brick, but he has his own secrets in his heart; the young policeman Khalid seems to have been beaten by chicken blood, and he will not miss the opportunity to chat with any woman; but only he has brought some good things to the local people. The lady boss doesn't want to live like she's dead, she takes the old head on a date, trying to understand other people's lives; she longs for change. Another resident has his own problems, but he doesn't know how to solve them. The guy in white hangs around the phone all night long, just for the phone call from his girlfriend. The arrival of these police officers seems to have changed their lives, but it seems that there has never been a trajectory that has not changed any life. Every one of the residents of the town seems to be living ignorantly, arranged by the fate of life, without resistance or change. People who yearn for change can't change their own lives. It seems that nothing happened during the night the band stayed. The thing I disliked the most was probably the scene where the old head of the regiment woke up to drink water and found Khalid and the lady boss rolling around on the bed. I don't believe that people are lonely so, what performance brings. Maybe this happens in real reality, but I don't think such a vulgar routine should appear in the atmosphere and expression of the film.

At the end of the film, the melodious Arabic long tune is flying with the wind, slowly rising in this land of cultural conflict and blending.

The music of the film seems to be substantiated, and the simple tune fills the picture like air and light, as if that is the oxygen for everyone. In fact, all the sound in this film is very real and conspicuous, as conspicuous as the lifeless environment of the whole film.
