The Tuk Tuk Guy
Comedy hybrid short film following a Tuk Tuk driver who, while being questioned by two officers, recounts his previous night’s surreal experiences through an animated "stoned" lens. Five stories overlap as Hamama, the Tuk Tuk driver, tries to figure out what Hossam and Refaat want to know specifically Hossam, who came here for a truly weird reason.
