Originally commissioned by French television for the news series Envoyé spécial, Chahine’s brief yet powerful film turns a simple portrait of Cairo into a personal reflection. Filmed with his characteristic artistic digressions, the piece captures the city’s texture while simultaneously revealing the director’s own perspective, making the documentary feel like a self‑portrait of the filmmaker.
