OMAR SHARIF
Omar Sharif - a face of the Arab world that is hardly imaginable today, when horror images and clichés shape our media perception of this region. The star of "Lawrence of Arabia", "Doctor Zhivago" and "Funny Girl" was notorious as a heartthrob and bon vivant - and next to Cleopatra, probably the most famous Egyptian of all time. Through conversations with Omar Shairf's family and closest companions, the film creates a portrait of a man full of contradictions.
