What happens

All My Life (Arabic: طول عمري; translit. Toul Omry; French: Toute ma vie), is a 2008 Egyptian film by Maher Sabry. While a work of fiction, Sabry made efforts to use real-life influences from his own experiences to the 2001 arrests of the Cairo 52 to keep the portrayal of conditions for homosexuals in Egypt accurate.
