The Yacoubian Building
Movie • 2006 • Drama
ReportCairo: a 70-year-old building of once-luxury flats with tenements on the roof. Zika, an aging libertine, feuds with his sister. Pius Haj Azzam takes a second wife, in secret, to satisfy sexual drive within religious bounds. Bothayna, poor and beautiful, supports her family, wanting to do so with dignity intact. Her former fiancé, Taha, the janitor's son, humiliated by the police, turns to fundamentalism. Hatem, a gay editor, seduces and corrupts a young man from the sticks. Two brothers, Copts, one a tailor and one Zika's factotum, connive for property. Allah is on most everyone's lips, and corruption is in their hearts.

Although not directly shown, the film shows just before and just after a man is raped. Several scenes depict powerful men performing questionably consenual sex acts on women.

The film features multiple sexual assaults: a woman describes being sexually assaulted by her boss, later her new boss performs an unwanted sex act on her; a man is raped by secret police as a form of torture; another man gets a man drunk in order to sleep with him; many women in the film are coerced and taken advantage of sexually by men; it is intimated in one scene that a boy has been sexually abused by a male family servant.
