The Other Cheek(الخد الآخر)

Great central performances drive this tale of guilt, repentance, and revenge. After Nashaat’s daughter is viciously attacked by his neighbors’ dog, he is indignant to hear claims she provoked the attack. Reading the accusatory article aloud to his manipulative ex-wife leads to a heated confrontation, leaving the incandescent father with no choice but to take frustrations out on the perpetrator.
