HoLEY

During a visit to New York from Egypt, Mark, a 32-year-old Orthodox Christian, decides to lose his virginity, facing all the cultural and religious restrictions that have shaped his character. After a failed blind date, Mark is persuaded by his friends to seek something other than a soul mate. Their solution? A prostitute.

Directed by Bavly Soliman, HoLEY leans on a strong ensemble — Fady Kerko, Samah Anwar, Amos Poe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
