Love is much younger: Heads & Tails



Director: Kamla Abu Zekri
Starring: Mahmoud Hameida, Hend Sabri

The universe has its own chemistry with the survival on earth and so does the natural drive to love and betray for the most beautiful, applied on all mankind. Malek We Ketaba aka Heads and Tails is a story about three lives struggling to reach out their goals of ultimate bliss. While each one has an unconditional withdrawal towards the road of fog and frost, they keep muddling within seeking peace & love. After finding about his wife’s infidelity, Dr. Mahmoud (Mahmoud Hemida), an acting coach finds himself breaking away and swiftly coming together, as he falls in love with much younger girl Hend (Hend Sabri). Hend is a student of Dr. Mahmoud scrambling with her acting career and her abrupt break up with her boyfriend Tarek (Khaled Abol Naga), a talented but less-liberal, lazy photographer.


While the movie revolves around the clash and misconceptions between the three lives, it also dramatically polishes up the emotive flow of situations falling on the highway. The characters play hostile in the beginning and get narrative at the end of each plot. The verbal mishap between Hend and Dr. Mahmoud ended one relation and saw them entering another relation. A slight crunch of hatred and disgust created a scope of new love switching the relation in each plot, in each character. Dr. Mahmoud pays gratitude to Hend for his unreasonable attitude, while Hend acts dry, half-way between regretting the loss of her boyfriend whom she left for his habit of smoking hash and taking Hend for granted. The shattered coach has a nervous breakdown and the recovery was not just physically but a quite spiritually. 


The relationship between Hend and coach advances with the passion of youngness – a tribute to life, a taste of love, the deliverance of a relation and an intimation of conscience. The old coach has no more annoyance towards life, as he realizes that life is all about feeling younger and happier, whatsoever happens. Hend sees her acting career growing in the limelight and also shortens distance with Tarek. The metallurgy of love and humanity changes its direction and impositions as life breathes after limbo.

After all, love doesn’t have to be technical to two bodies or souls or persons; it is much obliged to one heart and one soul itself.
