Hero of Paper
1988, Arabic. Directed by Nader Galal.
The film revolves around the cinematographer Rami Qashua, who begins to succeed in the cinema through the texts he writes, but his bad luck imprints it in an unenviable predicament when one of his texts ends up being written by a clerical writer on the typewriter. He performs the literal implementation of everything that happens in the scenario of theft and murder, and collaborates with journalist Sawsan in order to beat him.
