About Wannabe Courageous
Omar marries Nesma despite her father's objection. After the wedding ceremony, they're attacked by unknown men. During her escape, Nesma is injured. Awakening from a coma, she refuses to see Omar because she doesn't feel safe with him. He goes to a psychiatrist to help him solve the problem.
Directed by Mahmoud Karim, Wannabe Courageous leans on a strong ensemble — Ramez Galal, Gamila Awad, Bayoumi Fouad — 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 2019.
