Egyptian comedy about a dude pretending to be blind so that he can get into Europe with a traveling soccer team for the blind.

It's a funny and charming caper film about people desperate to emigrate. It's supposedly based on a true story (but I haven't been able to find English language coverage of the real events). But you have to turn off your brain to not think about how the actual blind players were used and how this certainly screwed up their experience and probably made their lives more difficult and invasive afterward.
