The first Egyptian film to tackle the taboo of sperm donation
The Cultural FrontlineAvailable for over a year
The film tells the story of a single woman who decides to search for a sperm donor after not finding love by the age of the 35. Screenwriter Inas Lotfy reflects on why the film has topped the Egyptian box office. It was helped by an innovative Facebook marketing campaign where a fake profile was set up asking the public for sperm donations.
