Geha's Nail Arabic movie
First of all let me introduce you Mr. GEHA.
Geha, is one of the most popular prototypical personalities in the
oriental legacy scene and representing the simply-minded labor. Admired by the
youth, even more by the elders, for his purposeful smart guiltless comic
attitudes.

The movie featured Al Koufa, a
region in Iraq, during the Ottoman period and drew the
injustice and the tyranny running in the city due to the occupation.
Geha, the imam of the city, called and preached people
for good behaves and manners, while was highlighting the
disadvantages of the Turkish occupation.
The Turkish governor considered
Geha as a rioter against him, he ordered to dismissal him
of his job, later he put him in jail, than released him, but Geha and
his young assistant, who fell in love with his daughter, have continued
fighting against injustice and oppression that the people in “Al Koufa” are suffering
from
The photo above isn't a movie board
but kind of a teasing advertising for the film, for so nothing was
mentioned about the dance figure name in the movie.
The movie offers many dances but
my favorite dance was the one executed by the great comedian Mary Mounib.
It is not a serious dance but you can smell the Ghawazee style of it...
Click the video below, dance starts as of 0.44
