Synopsis

Set entirely in an 8m police truck, a number of detainees from different political and social backgrounds are brought together by fate, during the turmoil that followed the ousting of former president Morsi from power.

MUBI's take

In a feat of politically engaged filmmaking, writer-director Mohamed Diab (Cairo 678) makes use of an inventive narrative device—shooting entirely within the cramped confines of a police truck—to capture a microcosm of contemporary Egyptian society. A provocative thriller that’s full of energy.
