“Helwan... I” it’s about Helwan, one of the gratest and famous egyptian cities. It’s about my relationship with the city, and about its changes and transforming and for people there too, as helwan was a city for bashas and high class people, but it’s now for sellers, microbus’ drivers, and local people. My story about helwan since childhood mix with my own story about my family, and my family’s prespective about the city. For sure Helwan has a lot of stories inside, but that’s my story, my own story about Helwan.
