Production

Yusuf al-Sibai’s original novel centered on the philosophy of life and death, pessimism and optimism. Published in 1952 by the University Publishing House, it was one director Salah Abu Seif tried repeatedly to film in the early 1970’s despite producers’ reluctant to underwrite a story so focused on death.

The filmmakers settled on Mohamed Sabo, best-known as a still photographer, as cinematographer despite his lack of film experience. He shot the footage over the course of a mere four weeks.
