I didn't like this movie very much.
One of the reasons was: I was thinking that it was an optimistic movie, and all the things go to a right way. And it's not exactly like that.
I don't know about Egyptian culture nowadays, but I guess the movie made a critic about the way that Egyptian women live- or lived. They did not have many rights: They had to work only at home,they couldn't go to the schools after they had their first period,they had the obligation of being virgin until they get married, and the list goes.
Aicha is always told,by her mother-in-law and her husband,to have a son. Spite of the fact that she likes her two girls, she gives birth to a boy. Ironic or not, the son becomes a kid full of problems like autism.
