Lashin

A small, unnamed town. The head of the government, Kangiar, takes advantage of the Sultan's weakness to oppress the population. When corruption increases, and exploitation becomes unsupportable, Lashin, the head of the army, tries to inform the Sultan. But Kangiar accuses Lashin of conspiracy, and has him arrested. The people rise up to save Lashin and the Sultan, realizing the situation, orders that Lashin take Kangiar's place as head of the government.

"Lashin, the second and last film that the German Fritz Kramp made for the Misr Society for Theater and Cinema, was the greatest cinematographic work that had ever been produced in Egypt until then. The film was supposed to debut in March 1938, but the censors postponed its debut to November because of the political elections that were being held at that time" (Samir Farid).
