MAYSOON

Almost 10 years after the Arab spring, the young Egyptian archaeologist Maysoon is living in Berlin with her German boyfriend Tobi and their two children. When she experiences some turbulences in her personal life and an unexpected threat to her political status, Maysoon fears that she may lose everything once again: family, love, and freedom. Maysoon fights for her independence as a woman and as a citizen, fueled by love and idealism.

MAYSOON is Greek-born Nancy Biniadaki’s second feature film after her debut THE SURFACE OF THINGS which premiered in competition at Thessaloniki in 2018 and won the Best Greek Newcomer Director’s Award in Athens.
