Ice Cream in Glim

Seif works in a video rental store, and lives with a group of young men aspiring for a better life. Seif tries to prove himself worthy by showcasing his singing talent, to the disappointment of the store's owner who fires him. Seif ends up in jail, where he meets a leftist student and poet, who introduces him to an infamous old composer, and they form a trio and take their art to the streets.

Directed by Khairy Beshara, Ice Cream in Glim leans on a strong ensemble — Amr Diab, Ashraf Abdel Baky, Simone — 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 drama titles of 1992.
