Description
Based on the novel by the great Egyptian novelist, Taha Hussein, "The Nightingale's Prayer" stars the first lady of the Arab silver screen, Faten Hamama. This compelling tale of love and betrayal, set in the upper Egyptian countryside, follows the story of Amna (Hamama) as she plots her revenge on the engineer (Ahmed Mazhar) who destroyed her family's honor. A gripping portrait of a courageous young woman's rebellion against tradition and poverty, this film is an undiscovered masterpiece of world cinema.
