Zezenia

Set in Alexandria during the 1940s, at the height of the city's cosmopolitan golden age, Zezenia follows Bishr — the son of an Egyptian father and Italian mother — as he navigates a fractured sense of identity torn between East and West. Against a backdrop of World War II, mixed nationalities, and a society on the brink of change, the series is a sweeping portrait of love, belonging, and the soul of a city.
