Lagoonie Film Productions announced that production on their new feature film DON’T SLEEP IN A BAD MOOD WITH EMAN by Ahmed El-Zoghby has officially started. 

The film follows Eman — a famous TV presenter who specializes in marriage and relationships — who pays her son Karim, his wife Lamis, and their daughter Laila a surprise visit and comes to realize that her son is cheating on his wife. 

In her attempt to fix Karim's relationship with his wife, she discovers that she's not the only one keeping big secrets from her family under the pretense of love. 

The film will be directed by Ahmed El-Zoghby, who co-wrote the script with Sarah Abdallah under the supervision of legendary scriptwriter Tamer Habib. The film’s cast is also yet to be announced.
