Ma'a eni a'ref an el-nahr qad gaf

How to mime it

1. Start with the film sign: crank an old movie camera beside your ear.
2. Hold up 7 fingers: the Arabic title has 7 words.
3. For each word, show its number, then tap fingers on your forearm for the syllables.
4. Stuck? It is from the 2010s; point back over your shoulder for "old".
5. This one is hard: act out a famous scene or the overall idea before the words.
