One day, the Nile [1][2] (Egyptian Arabic: الناس والنيل French: Un jour, le Nil translit: Al Nass Wal Nil or Al Nas wal Nil) is an Egyptian - Russian joint production film released in 1972.[3][4][5] The film is directed by Youssef Chahine and stars Salah Zulfikar and Soad Hosny.[6][7][8][9]

Plot[]

Set during the diversion of the Nile current in 1964 during the building of the Aswan Dam. The foreground of the film shows Yehia as a worker in the high dam project. Later, we will understand that Yehia is not a real worker but a committed writer, tired by years of activism. Because of this past and this fatigue, the young girl from a good family with whom he falls in love, and who loves him, finally leaves him. Because she doesn't want a worn-out man. But Yehia is focused on covering the secrets of the huge project. And the rest of personalities begin to remember the past, through the story of an honest doctor who joins the dam to serve its staff, Nadia who refuses to move to Aswan with her husband Amin and Russian engineer Alex whose wife cannot tolerate life in Egypt.[10][11][12][13][14]

Production[]

The film was joint Egyptian-Soviet production as a sign of friendship between the two states at the time.

Youssef Chahine has diverted diplomatic material into poetic and lyrical material. And throughout the film, this important question: where does this energy come from? "We will change the course of history as we have changed the course of the world's greatest river." That kind of feeling always makes a movie. And it is visible that Chahine believed in his country's capabilities to build this huge project, the High Dam..[15]
