WATCH: Ahmed Malek, Aya Samaha & Director Karim Shaaban on ‘6 Ayam’
Love spanning decades and a genre rarely explored in recent Egyptian cinema, this is the story of the romantic comedy ‘6 Ayam’.
“W Amalet Eh Fina Al Seneen?”—an iconic verse sung by Warda in ‘Al Oyoun Al Soud’ and the question at the heart of ‘6 Ayam’, a film that explores the passage of time through the story of two childhood friends who drift apart, only to reunite years later. How have their lives changed? How will they navigate the weight of time and transformation? And most importantly, does love truly withstand the test of years?
A bold cinematic experiment, ‘6 Ayam’ is entirely driven by dialogue—crafted by screenwriter Wael Hamdy and brought to life by director Karim Shaaban, starring Ahmed Malek and Ayah Samaha. Rather than a crowded ensemble, the film immerses you in the world of just two characters, pulling you into their journey of nostalgia, growth, and self-discovery.
In this #CairoScene interview, we sit down with Malek, Samaha, and Shaaban to delve into the making of ‘6 Ayam’ and the themes that shape their latest film.
