Fawzi Mounib

It is the story of two friends, one a Muslim, Sheik Metwalli, and the other a Coptic Christian, Barsoum, both unemployed, suffering from hunger, and competing for a job in a bank. When the bank’s director mistakes them for wealthy businessmen, he takes them to his home for a lavish lunch. But upon learning their actual status, he chases them out of the house. At the film’s conclusion, as the two friends rest on the sidewalk absorbing their long-overdue meal, they are arrested by a policeman.

The film revolves around the character of Lord Carnarvon and his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, in addition to his discovery of many Pharaonic antiquities in the deserts of Upper Egypt and in the Valley of the Kings.

Directed by Bonvelli, based on the British play Charley's Aunt.
