Med den metaforisk anlagte Yacoubians Hus åbner den unge egyptiske filmskaber Marwan Hamad dørene til det egyptiske samfund og lader os betragte uhyrlighederne. Lidt ligesom når man vender en sten og kaster den fra sig, når man opdager det ikke er rav. Fortællingerne i Yacoubians Hus er lagt ud som en mosaik, der følger indbyggerne - med blandt andet stjernerne Adel Imam og Nour El-Sherif på rollelisten - i Cairos berømte bygning. Her er 1930’ernes luksus nu forvandlet til et spraglet mikrokosmos af samfundslag og kulturer. Filmfolkene er ikke bange for at tackle tabubelagte emner som seksuelle udskejelser, homoseksualitet, politisk korruption og islamisk terrorisme. Og er man interesseret i, hvad der i øjeblikket rører sig på den mellemøstlige filmfront, er ”Yacoubians hus” helt essentiel.
