"The two housemaids . . . weave a friendship which invents a whole new relationship, a sisterhood unusual in Arab Cinema." - Lizbeth Malkmus, Roy Armes, Arab & African Film Making
Hind and Camilia are two housemaids who are abused both by their employers (who overwork them) and by their male relatives (who mistreat them). After many misfortunes and disappointments, they decide to strike out on their own. DREAMS OF HIND AND CAMILIA offers a very convincing portrayal of the brutality and hopelessness that mark the lives of Cairo's poor, especially its women.
