Cairo, Egypt | Monday- 6 February, 2017:


Film Clinic has released the official poster and trailer of the film Ali, the Goat and Ibrahim by Sherif El Bendary on YouTube and the film's official Facebook page getting ready for its release in Egyptian theatres March 1, 2017.

The trailer shows the odd relationship between Ali, his goat, Nada, and Ibrahim, who hears unexplained voices, when they start a journey between the mountains and the sea to help solve their problems. The poster features the three main characters riding in the back of a pickup truck, where Ali and the goat are in a state of complete happiness, while Ibrahim is gazing into the void.

Ali, the Goat and Ibrahim follows a strange love story of a young man living in a rough neighborhood. He travels across Egypt on the recommendation of a psychic along with Ibrahim who is almost driven mad by the voices he hears in his head. Their journey turns into a voyage of friendship and self-discovery.

The film's world premiere was held at the 2016 Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) where it competed within the Muhr Feature competition and Ali Sobhi won the Best Actor Award for his role in the film.
