Synopsis

The film revolves around Imam Biltagy Hassanein Shoukry Sarhan), a young man who comes from the countryside to study in Cairo. In the Al-Khalifa neighboorhood, he rents a house from a woman named Shafaat (Taheyya Kariokka). Seduced by her, he indulges in vice and falls behind on his studies. On the other hand, a young woman close to him who has known him since childhood helps out of the spiral. The latter woman’s father advises Biltagy to stay away from her, so he fights to break out of Shafaat’s clutches.
