Dawn of a New Day ( Egyptian Arabic: فجر يوم جديد, Fagr Yom gedid) is a 1965 Egyptian film directed by Youssef Chahine. [1] [2] [3] It is written by Samir Nasri and Abd al-Rahman Sharqawi, [4] and starring Sanaa Gamil. [5] [6] [7]

The plot follows a sad love story through which light is shed on the anxiety that the bourgeois class suffered from after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, as that class failed to deal with and absorb the new changes in society. [8] [9] [10] Director Chahine expressed the anxiety of the post-revolution bourgeoisie through a woman searching for herself hesitantly within a new world that is unfamiliar to her. [11] [12] [13]

Plot

Nayla, 40, is the wife of an effete rich drunken bourgeois, who married her as a glamour teen and turned her world to misery. In her desperate search for a new dawn of life and meaningful feelings, she tries ineffectually to connect with the world she used to know. She meets a young man, Tariq, and is attracted to his simplicity, even though he is from a completely different social standard. She does not choose any man from her class, especially Abu Al-Ela, who is trying to get close to her. when she gets closer to Tariq and his world, thoughts about her past overwhelm her, and an intense discussion takes place between them, during which it becomes clear that each of them is unable to communicate with the other, so she decides at the end to stay away from him.
