Synopsis: Catalog tells the story of Youssef (Mohamed Farrag), a man who suddenly finds himself responsible for raising his two children after the death of his wife, Amina (Riham Abdel Ghafour). Out of sync with their routines and disconnected from their emotions, Youssef is overwhelmed — until he discovers a series of parenting videos his late wife had recorded before she passed. Each video becomes his guide: a beacon through grief, a roadmap back into his kids’ hearts, and a mirror revealing strengths he never knew he had.
Set in Egypt and grounded in the everyday complexities of Arab family life, Catalog is a heartwarming drama that blends quiet humor with raw emotion — exploring how families evolve in the face of loss, how men are reshaped by responsibility, how it takes a village to raise a family and how parenting rarely follows a script.
