ALEXANDRIE…NEW YORK

Because of a tribute that made him return to New York, the Egyptian director, Yéhia, found his childhood sweetheart again. 19 years ago, everybody was chasing the “American Dream”. Back then Yéhia L’Alexandrin and the American Ginger, studied at the prestigious University of Dynamic Arts in California. They had promised each other to stay together forever. Forty years later they meet again but in a world that has changed. Youssef Chahine takes us back in time to tell us about the love he had for the American country.
