This is an Egyptian promotional poster designed by Hassan Mazhar
Gasour for the 1991 120-minute Salah Abouseif color film War in the
Land of Egypt [al-mowaten: masri] starring Omar Sharif, based on
the novel al-harb fi bar misr by Youssef El-Kaeed with
screenplay by Mohsen Zayed and cinematography by Tarek El-Telmisany.
Plot summary: In 1973 in an Egyptian village Abdel Zeraq al-Shershabi
(Omar Sharif), a shrewd feudal mayor, recovered his farmland by court
order after the lifting of a receivership. His young second wife
threatened to tell people he had become sexually impotent if he did
not prevent their only son Tawfiq from being drafted into the army
along with his other children from his first wife. The mayor
pressured an oppressed farm laborer named Abel Mawgud to have his son
Masri, who was exempt from the draft, take the place of his son Tawfiq
in the induction in exchange for the Mayor giving him the five feddans
he was farming, assigning him a special work crew and giving him a
cash reward. Abdel Mawgud and his son agreed to this. Then Masri was
killed in the October War, but he had already confessed the truth
about what had happened to a recruiter named Hassan [Ashraf Abdel
Baqi]. The police were investigating the incident, but Abdel Mawgud
denied being Masri's father out of fear of the Mayor's anger, who had
only paid him 261 pounds and refused to give him the land he had
promised.
