Khadiga

About This Movie

Khadiga takes you into the heart of Cairo through the eyes of a young mother trying to navigate her new reality. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, as we follow her day, filled with moments of quiet introspection amid the chaos of city life. The atmosphere is thick with tension and unease, perfectly reflecting Khadiga’s internal struggle. What stands out are the raw performances—especially from the lead—where you can feel the weight of her loneliness and vulnerability. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the authenticity of her environment. It’s a story that digs into themes of isolation and resilience, presenting a slice of life that feels both real and poignant.

Strong focus on character-driven storytelling. · Cairo's urban landscape as a character itself. · Authentic performances drive the narrative.
