CAIRO - 21 July 2020: Egyptian Film “El-Ghassala” (Washing Machine) will premiere in Eid el-Adha in Egyptian cinemas.

Acclaimed Egyptian production companies Synergy Films, New Century and Misr International Films previously released the trailer for "El-Ghassala", the first movie trailer in Egyptian cinemas after more than 3months of hiatus for the Egyptian film industry due to COVID-19.

The trailer of “El-Ghassala was released on TikTokwhere it streams for 24 hours; it is the first Egyptian film to release its trailer on TikTok.

The trailer showcases an avant-garde kind of a washing machine that functions as a time machine, which evokes several complications. "El-Ghassala" is written by Adel Salib and directed by Essam Abdel Hamid.

"El-Ghassala" revolves around Omar who uses the washing machine to get rid of the obstacles that drive a wedge between him and his lover. The film marks the second cooperation between Ahmed Hatem and Hannah el-Zahed, after the huge success of their last film "Love Story" that was released on Valentine's Day in 2019
