El Khoroug plot

At a time of mounting tensions between Muslims and Christians, Cairo Exit tells a story about love that cannot be enslaved by convention. Tarek and Amal, a Muslim boy and a Coptic girl, try to realize a shared future against prevailing morality. He wants to go to Europe, but she wants to stay with her family. The fact that their mixed relationship is not accepted in Egypt is not their only problem. Hailing from a poor suburb of Cairo, they also don't have the right connections to qualify for a serious job.
