Synopsis

In Competition

Thirteen-year-old Fingo wants nothing more than to hang Ramadan lights on his apartment building this year, but he soon finds some things are easier said than done. Yet, despite having no money and little assistance, he’s absolutely determined to make it happen! ‘Noor’ is a charming comedy which literally sheds a light on the simple challenges overcome in a working-class suburb of Cairo by a resourceful kid who just won’t take ‘No’ for an answer.
