NILE HILTON INCIDENT
"A paranoid portrait of individual and systemic corruption that leaves
none of its characters unscarred." - Variety
Weeks before the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Noredin (Fares Fares), a
police officer in Cairo's corrupt system, investigates the murder of a famous club
singer at the Nile Hilton Hotel. What initially seems to be a crime of passion turns
into something that concerns the very power elite of Egypt. Upon realizing this,
Noredin decides to break the rules in order to obtain justice, colliding not only
with the system but also with himself.
