Dawn of a New Day (Egyptian Arabic: فجر يوم جديد, Fagr Yom gedid) is a 1965 Egyptian film directed by Youssef Chahine. It is written by Samir Nasri and Abd al-Rahman Sharqawi, and starring Sanaa Gamil.The plot follows a sad love story through which light is shed on the anxiety that the bourgeois class suffered from after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, as that class failed to deal with and absorb the new changes in society. Director Chahine expressed the anxiety of the post-revolution bourgeoisie through a woman searching for herself hesitantly within a new world that is unfamiliar to her.
