Angels of Cairo

Lewis has written a script. Eighty pages in ten days.\r\nHardly slept... He taps the bag on his shoulder with a\r\ndelicate fingertip like its a hot kettle. Cliff is then given\r\nten minutes on the problem with Lewiss printer. Then\r\nthe history of problems with his printer. Then problems\r\nwith printers more generally...\r\nRobert Clifford is in Cairo to present his latest film for\r\na festival prize. It has taken seven gruelling years of\r\nhis life to make and is definitely NOT a film about his\r\nmother. But his moment in the spotlight is not quite as he\r\nscripted. There are rumours the jury could be influenced.\r\nNobody can lay their hands on a copy of the film. And\r\neven his girlfriend thinks its about his mother.\r\nCliffs producer has not turned up but sent his nephew\r\nLewis Proudfoot instead. Lewis has a script of his own\r\nto sell and is determined that everyone should hear\r\nabout it. Then a meeting is arranged with a group of\r\nthe festival organisers friends, who may or may not be\r\nrevolutionaries...\r\nAngels of Cairo is a fast-moving, acerbic comedy told\r\nover a single day but capturing a lifetime of angst and\r\nself-doubt.
