The documentary Fiancées filmed by the Swiss director Julia Bünter tells the story of three young Egyptian women who are about to get married; and portrays the modern society in Cairo that has become a huge metropolis with its population over 20 million.
The movie tells the story of three young couples, planning to get married with a desire to set a free life independent from their families, stuck between the pursuit of freedom and traditions in Egypt, which has witnessed significant changes in the recent years politically, economically and socially. Three couples; Batool and Bassam, Marize and Ramy, Randa and Abdelrahman, all with different backgrounds, decide to get married because of their pursuit of independence for different reasons. The marriage, which, indeed should be constituted over the union of two people, turns into a sort of tool for expressing themselves and finding their own path. Not to mention the domestic oppression they suffer during this process…
Approaching this situation faced by the young population in Egypt in the most possible sensitive and neutral way, director Julia Bünter neither compares the West with the East nor criticizes the conservatism of the East; she just listens for the young population of a transforming society.
