Emra'a lakl el-ragal

How to mime it

1. Start with the film sign: crank an old movie camera beside your ear.
2. Hold up 3 fingers: the Arabic title has 3 words.
3. For each word, show its number, then tap fingers on your forearm for the syllables.
4. Stuck? It is from the 1970s; point back over your shoulder for "old".
