Toi, Waguih
Synopsis
In 1959, in Egypt, several thousand communists were arrested and sent to prison camps. Amoung these prisoners was Waguih, my father. Waguih was released in 1964. He was 29, my age today. It's a topic that we little discussed together. Simply because he doesn't talk much about himself. I've inherited this modesty, but today I want to talk to him. I want us to speak to each other.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
