Aisha Can’t Fly Away Anymore
Aisha is a 26 years old Somali carer for elderly patients who lives in the Ain Shams district of Cairo. She is familiar with the underworld in the local African migrant community in that neighborhood which has become akin to a small African colony in which tensions are rife between the newcomers and original inhabitants. Aisha gets involved with an Egyptian street gang that blackmails her into stealing keys to the apartments of her elderly patients. Meanwhile, she copes with boredom and an ambiguous romantic relationship with a young Egyptian cook.
