Regarded as one of the boldest films of the "liberal" 1970s, this award-winning classic is directed by the great Hussein Kamal and written by the controversial Ihsan Abdel Quoddous and featuring a superb cast. A color saturated melodrama and a profound analysis of seventies society and decadence.
Qesmat is at crossroads as she suffers from her husband's neglect just as she encounters the open-minded Hesham who breathes new life and paints new color into her life. Rather unconsciously, she draws a constant comparison between her constantly-busy husband and Hesham.
After a woman loses hope of bearing a child of her own, she adopts an orphan against her husband's will, but when the child becomes a young woman, she falls in love with her adoptive father.
