About The Well of Treason
Gaber Abdel Ghaffar lives on stealing merchandise in Alexandria port, and one day he gets arrested and deported to the army to perform military service. He escapes from the army to Italy illegally, where he suffers from harsh living conditions, so he goes to an employment agency belonging to the Mossad and decides to work with them, offering his services in espionage.
Directed by Ali Abdel-Khalek, The Well of Treason leans on a strong ensemble — Nour El-Sherif, Ezzat Al Alaily, Dalal Abdelaziz — 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 1987.
