The film revolves around Wensh, the Egyptian National Team center back who is about to ride home on his motorcycle. The security guard in the parking lot decides to not let him out on his bike because he might injure himself. This is because Egypt is about to play in the African Cup of Nations which we haven’t won in 11 years, and the security guard is not going to let this cup slip.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
Egypt is the most successful and decorated team in the history of Africa - but we’ve been quite dire in the tournament for 11 years, and this led the fans to become quite disheartened and anxious about this years participation. In short, the entire nation was giving out vibes that this cup is non-negotiable, and we need to have a good showing.
And Egyptians are quite big on humor, and quite intrusive in the players’ personal lives so we had to communicate that in our main idea, tagline and our films.
