A review of Daye: Seret Ahl El Daye
The film Daye: Seret Ahl El Daye tells the moving story of a young boy who pursues his greatest dream despite all obstacles. Daye, a 14-year-old Albino from Aswan, has an extraordinary voice and dreams of participating in The Voice. However, his path is anything but easy: he is bullied because of his appearance, struggles with family conflicts, and ultimately embarks on a journey full of challenges to Cairo in order to make his dream come true.
The storyline is especially compelling due to its inspiring message. The film explores deep themes such as bullying, family tensions, and the courage to ask for help. One of the most touching aspects is the support Daye receives from his music teacher, who not only recognizes his talent but also accompanies him on his journey. The trip to Cairo becomes an emotional rollercoaster, as Daye, his mother, his sister, and his teacher face unexpected obstacles. At the same time, they learn through the kindness of strangers that solidarity and support can be found everywhere.
The film’s cinematography is breathtaking. The stunning landscape shots and vibrant colors give Daye an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Every single scene is visually striking, making it feel almost surreal. Another highlight is the musical accompaniment of Daye’s singing, which runs like a red thread through the film, adding a special emotional depth. His voice, described in the film as an „angelic voice,“ captivates the audience and makes his personal growth even more impactful. Throughout the film, Daye not only develops as a singer but also learns to truly believe in himself.
Overall, Daye: Seret Ahl El Daye is a beautifully told film about courage, dreams, and the importance of unity. It inspires viewers to never give up and to fight for their goals—no matter how difficult the journey may be.
