The Queue

In a surreal depiction of modern-day Egypt, "The Queue" presents a chilling story where citizens await permission from a powerful authority known as 'the Gate' in the aftermath of a failed uprising. As a revolutionary journalist, a concerned mother, and others line up under the oppressive sun, the narrative centers on Yehia, a man suffering from a bullet lodged in his pelvis, and Tarek, the principled doctor faced with a moral dilemma about following protocol or saving a life. With dark humor, this dystopian tale explores the manipulative essence of authoritarianism and its disregard for individual rights.
