This Egyptian film poster was designed by Al-Khad to promote the 1985
115-minute Ali Abdel Khalek color film The High [al-keif]
starring Mahmoud Abdel Aziz with story, screenplay and dialogue by
Mahmoud Abou Zeid and cinematography by Mamoun Ata. Plot summary:
After Gamal (Mahmoud Abdel Aziz) failed with his studies he worked as
a musician in a wedding band. His brother Salah (Yehia El-Fakharany)
tried to get him to stop using narcotics and gave him a harmless
substitute made in a lab. He advised him to use it and give it to his
friends for the protection of their health. Gamal gave the synthetic
material to a drug dealer. The drug dealer gave it to the gang leader
(Fouad Khalil), who liked it and added some of the narcotic material
to it. He sold the compound on the market, which reduced the demand
for narcotics; then he asked Gamal to supply the quantities needed to
meet the market need. He convinced him of the need to exploit the
situation, especially since the compound just provided drug abusers
with the illusion of a high. Gamal decided to record a vocal music
tape. Salah discoverd the gang was mixing his compound with the
narcotic material and decided to stop supplying them, but the gang
kidnapped him and injected him with morphine until he became an addict
and had to prepare the goods for them. The music cassette Gamal
recorded was a hit.
