In the Heliopolis Flat (2007)
Directed by Mohamed Khan
Starring: Ghada Adel, Khaled Abol Naga, Ahmed Rateb, Ragaa Hussein
Written by: Wissam Soliman
A quiet, introspective film set in the nostalgic heart of Cairo.
Najwa, a music teacher from Upper Egypt, travels to Heliopolis in search of her beloved mentor. What begins as a simple visit slowly becomes a search for meaning, memory, and human connection in a city that no longer remembers itself.
Mohamed Khan captures the stillness between people—those fleeting, unsaid moments that define modern loneliness. With delicate performances and a patient pace, In the Heliopolis Flat is a cinematic ode to longing and rediscovery.
