MY FATHER’S SCENT

MY FATHER’S SCENT

(Dir.: Mohamed Siam | Egypt 2025; Original with English subtitles | DCP | 96 min.)

A tense, poetic odyssey unfolds over the course of a single night as a father and son come face to face to settle old scores. Trapped in a single apartment, their relentless emotional confrontation quickly escalates, peeling back layer after layer to reveal the wounds of their strained relationship. This gripping family drama poses a deeply moving question: If you could spend one last night with a lost loved one—would you seek retribution or reconciliation? The film is a sensitive, intimate, and profound exploration of the complex, lifelong bond between father and son.
