This film is based on a story by Naguib Mahfouz; it is included in Ahmad Al-Hadari's 2007 list of the 100 most important Egyptian films.

This is part three of the Cairo Trilogy (Between Two Palaces, Palace Walk, the Sugar Bowl) in which we follow events in the family of Sayed Ahmed Abdel Gawad. This film is about the third generation, where we find Yassine, Kamal the youngest son and the daughters Aisha and Khadija in the years of their youth experiencing political changes and their effects on the formation of their ideas. Abdel Moneim adopted a religious orientation while Ahmed adopted a leftist orientation in his quest for justice--and both were arrested by the police. Meanwhile Redwan was attracted most of all to authority and centers of power, where for access you needed to have a friend among the pashas. For Kamal, the most important thing was his own life, which seemed in every way like a romance. It was in that context that he sought to discover the whole truth. Events passed and collided without meeting anywhere and always with an open ending. When we think the end will be the death of the family's founder Sayed Ahmed Abdel Gawad we see instead a new birth in the family.
