Dina’s father, Mohamed Hamza, was a poet who composed lyrics for the biggest artists of the sixties such as Abdel Halim Hafez, Shadia, Warda and others.
When her father passed away in 2010, Dina Hamza, the film director, felt extreme loneliness to the extent that suicidal thoughts prevailed. But she decided to live and try to find an exit within her household. She stumbles upon the radio, the most important object that her father had left her in the house. It becomes her only companion as music stations play the songs of the late poet. Dina Hamza decides to make this film in an attempt to find Mohamed Hamza – the father and the poet – and to find him through the different places he lived in and with the different people he encountered.
“The Past Will Return” has won the Radwan el Kashef Award at Luxor African Film Festival and has participated in Malmo Arab Film Festival and Oslo Film Days.
