DUBAI: There’s an ethos that many families around the world follow: The family’s reputation is paramount. Even the worst of events especially the worst must be kept secret, because the wound of public shame is greater than any wound that a horror such as abuse can inflict.
But who does that culture of secrecy protect? “Curfew,” a new film by Egyptian director Amir Ramses, is an exploration of one such secret, a taboo too difficult for most to even speak about child abuse.
Debuting at the Cairo International Film Festival at the end of 2020 and now streaming on OSN, it’s a film about a mother released from prison years after being locked up for killing her husband. Now free, she tries to reconnect with her daughter, the victim of crimes that she has yet to face even in her own mind.
