“Colonia” unfolds over a single intense night, forcing a father and son to confront buried memories, unresolved conflicts, and distorted perceptions of one another, in a raw emotional attempt to settle old scores and mend what time has broken.
The film stars Ahmed Malek, Kamel El Basha, and Mayan El Sayed, alongside Abed Anany, Donia Maher, and Hala Marzouk, delivering performances driven by emotional depth and psychological tension.
