While digging for the construction of the subway, Juha and his donkey, buried in the Abbasid era, come out from under the ground. Their exit confuses everyone, and all officials meet to decide the fate of Juha.
Directed by Shaker Khodair, Juha Governs the City leans on a strong ensemble — Sameer Ghanem, Esaad Younes, Ahmad Rateb — 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 1985.
