The Story of “Complaint No. 713317”

The film takes place within a social comedy framework, following a married couple as they face a series of changes and situations that affect their everyday lives, particularly after reaching retirement.

The story focuses on Magdy, a retired agricultural engineer, and his wife Sama. Their life initially appears stable, but a seemingly simple incident changes the course of their day and opens the door to a series of unexpected events.

The crisis begins when the couple’s refrigerator breaks down, prompting them to contact a specialized maintenance company for repairs. However, the problem does not remain a simple technical issue, as the couple finds themselves facing a situation involving exploitation, turning an ordinary household problem into a much larger crisis.

A Broken Refrigerator Sparks the Events

At first glance, the refrigerator breakdown may appear to be an ordinary household problem. However, the film uses the incident as the starting point for a series of twists that reveal different aspects of Magdy and Sama’s lives.

As the story develops, the attempt to repair the appliance turns into a journey that exposes the nature of the couple’s relationship, the changes brought about by retirement, and the way they respond to everyday problems and unexpected situations.

⭐ The film relies on the contrast between the simplicity of the original problem and the consequences that follow, creating room for comedy rooted in everyday life rather than relying solely on exaggerated situations.

Comedy Meets Married Life

“Complaint No. 713317” does not simply present comedic situations. Instead, it uses them to explore several social and human issues connected to married life.

The post-retirement period receives particular attention throughout the story, as it represents a stage in which daily routines and responsibilities can change significantly. This may force couples to rediscover aspects of their relationship and adapt to a new reality that differs from their previous years.

Through Magdy and Sama, the film presents situations that audiences may recognize from their own lives, particularly when it comes to dealing with small problems that can sometimes develop into larger disagreements or crises.

Cast of “Complaint No. 713317”

The film features a large ensemble cast, including Mahmoud Hemida, Sherine, Hana Shiha, Ali El Tayeb, Mohamed Radwan, Hanan Youssef, Enas Salousa, Jihad Hossam El Din, Tamer Nabil, and Ahmed Abdel Hamid.

The project brings together actors from different generations, giving the film variety in terms of performances and characters, alongside a story that combines social themes with comedic situations.

The film is written and directed by Yasser Shafie, who presents a vision based on transforming a simple everyday situation into an entry point for exploring ideas surrounding human relationships and married life.
