Dunia

Egypt

Jocelyne Saab

After studying literature at Cairo University, Dunia, 23 years old, wants to become a professional dancer. She attends an audition for an oriental dance contest where she recites Arabian poetry without any body movement. She explains to the perplexed jury that a woman can't move her body or evoke acts of love when society ask women to hide their femininity. She is selected and meets Beshir, an intellectual and activist who will supervise her thesis on ecstasy in Sufi love poetry. Their attraction is mutual. This could be her liberation.
