Synopsis "80 Days in Cairo"

It is January 1990. After university - studies in Arabic language in his new homeland Sweden, Rainer Hoffmann - architect and artist of Fine Arts - lands at Cairo airport. The rainy season begins. Overflows in the city of Cairo, sewage spilling over and flooding the streets in housing areas. Everything seems to collapse. The chaos in this former colonial and cultural metropolis of the Middle East puts his logical thinking to the test. For the citizens of Cairo these circumstances are not unusual; they improvise and they help the author. Iraq plans to invade Kuwait, war threatens on the horizon, the Arabic world will be smashed to pieces, but the inhabitants of Cairo assure the author that he finds himself in the safest place in the world. We follow him during his excursions through this twenty million capital of contrasts, where corruption, economic mismanagement, police brutality are all softened by the good hearts and humour of its citizens.
