35mm Presentation - Juliette (Patricia Clarkson, Vicky Cristina Barcelona), a fashion magazine editor in her 50s, travels to Cairo to meet her husband, Mark (Tom McCamus), a UN official working in Gaza, for a three week vacation. When he is unavoidably delayed, he sends his friend Tareq (Alexander Siddig), who had been his security officer for many years, to escort her throughout the beautiful and exotic city. The last thing anyone expects is that they will fall in love. Written and directed by Ruba Nadda, Cairo Time is a romantic drama about a brief, unexpected love affair that catches two people completely off-guard.
