Three Cairene women from different backgrounds join together in uneasy solidarity to combat the sexual harassment that has impacted each of their lives. We begin on an overcrowded bus line, dreaded by Fayza (Bushra) as a daily site of humiliation and anguish. Responding to a self-defense talk by Seba (Nelly Karim), whose own assault has driven her marriage apart, Fayza fights back and soon has a police detective searching for her amid public panic. Meanwhile, Nelly (Nahed El Sebaï), an aspiring comic, faces pressure from family to drop a lawsuit against her attacker.
Mohamed Diabs deftly braided narrative tells a gripping, timely social tale through its patchwork of interconnected lives and deeds. Perfectly timed to coincide with the massive protests that recently engulfed Egypt, Mohamed Diabs 'Cairo 678' is a blunt but powerful portrait of three women of varying social backgrounds rebelling against the sexual harassment endemic to that country's culture.
