The story
What it's about
Set entirely inside the duty-free zone of a busy international airport, this Egyptian workplace comedy follows the daily clashes between a quirky staff — led by a veteran employee who relies on wit to survive every crisis — and a newly appointed manager from a completely different background. Travellers from across cultures pass through, creating a non-stop parade of absurd situations and human comedy.
