Story

Six women, the rhythm of an aerobics class and the megacity of Cairo: from the perspective of a participant observer, ‘Yalla, ya Sittat!’ creates a multi-layered portrait of ageing and the courage to be self-determined – from the aerobics room behind the high walls of Africa’s most traditional sports club to the contrasting lives of the protagonists.
