Write a short summary of what happens in the film
We kickstart the film with a young couple at an appliances store asking for help, this is where our Hero star "Henedy" - the most loved theatrical comedian in Egypt - takes them into a surreal journey of our appliances and their USPs. starting with what the man wants and then moving on to the woman and her picky needs.
The journey ends with the powerful statement "In a nutshell tornado" as if there is no need to look anywhere else we got all your appliance needs covered.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
so two things you need to grasp.
1- Tonado is the brand of appliances
2. ElAraby is the mother company for tornado
“Bel Araby Tornado”, a phrase loosely translated from Egyptian slang to mean “In a nutshell Tornado”, but literally said, “From El Araby Tornado”. See the term “Bel Araby” literally means “In Arabic”. In slang, it’s used to insinuate getting to the point or cutting the chase. So claiming that “Bel Araby Tornado” meant that you needed to look no further, whatever you needed was in Tornado.
Tell the jury about the production design / art direction. You may wish to comment on choices, challenges or effects.
