A corrupt and corpulent politician, twisting the Koran to justify taking a mistress.Īll live in the Yacoubian Building, a once-elegant temple of Art Deco splendor slowly decaying in the smog and hubbub of downtown Cairo, Egypt. A roof-squatting tailor, scheming to own property.
A cynical, secretly gay newspaper editor, helplessly in love with a peasant security guard. An earnest, devout young doorman, feeling the irresistible pull toward fundamentalism. A young shop-girl enduring the clammy touch of her boss and hating herself for accepting the modest banknotes he tucks into her pocket afterward. A fading aristocrat and self-proclaimed ‘scientist of women.’ A purring, voluptuous siren.
