when did you lost your virginity!
MohammedAl-Saidi24 December 2023
The film talks about two young women, "Yasmine" and "Jomana," where one of them works in a women's lingerie store and the other in a hairdresser's shop. The events of the film revolve around their lives, what they face on a daily basis, and their love story. The film reviews the prevailing Egyptian culture in that period from the beginning of the millennium.

The filmmaker, Muhammad Khan, skillfully depicted the lives of two young girls navigating the streets of Cairo, adeptly showcasing their resilience and determination in facing life's challenges for themselves and their families. I appreciate the bittersweet conclusion, as it adds depth to the narrative. This film significantly adopts a serious approach, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of how individuals, particularly women, are treated and managed in Egyptian society, providing a thought-provoking exploration of societal norms and behaviors.
