The new Egyptian film Isaaf 55 (Ambulance 55) hit Cairo theaters on Tuesday.  

The comedy, which marks Magdi Al Hawari debut as a director, costars his wife Ghada Adel, Mohammed Saad and Ahmed Helmi, according to the Egyptian daily Al Ahram. 

The film tells the story of Sayed and Mara’i, played by Ahmed Helmy and Mohammed Saad, who work on an ambulance.  

According to Cairolive.com, all they do is argue with each other over who is more important, who gets to do this, etc. in typical representation of some of the petty competitions in a workplace.  

Cairolive.com calls Isaaf 55 is “a romp, a comedy adventure, from the blue-hued, computer-enhanced modern opening credits to the premier invitation, which was in a syringe.” – Albawaba.com
