El-balad di fiha hakoma

How to mime it

1. Start with the film sign: crank an old movie camera beside your ear.
2. Hold up 4 fingers: the Arabic title has 4 words.
3. For each word, show its number, then tap fingers on your forearm for the syllables.
4. Stuck? It is from the 2000s; point back over your shoulder for "old".
