Bukra Film Mish Mish
Tomorrow, When The Apricots Bloom

  1. Overview
  2. Fact Sheet

Shortly after the death of his special uncles, Didier Frenkel descends into the basement of their shared home and finds a treasure: an ancient archive of animated films from Egypt starring Mish Mish Effendi, the Arab equivalent of Mickey Mouse. His uncles kept this surprising chapter of their lives under cover. Didier begins restoring the films and unveils the story of the rise and fall of these pioneers of Arab animation. Their lives were marked by exile, a trauma that endures to this day.
