Plot summary: Yasmin [Menna Shalabi] and Jumana [Hend Sabri] were
friends who worked in shops in downtown Cairo. Yasmin worked for a
hairdresser and Jumana worked in a dress shop. They both lived in
simple social circumstances. One day they met two boys on the metro,
Samir [Khaled Abol Naga] who worked as a cook in a hotel and Osman
[Mohamed Nagati] who worked at the telephone company. The
relationship developed slowly. At first, in one of several incidents
in which she told lies, Yasmin told the boys her name was Jumana and
her friend's name was Yasmin, but the relationship continued and the
boys thought they could get the girls easily. Samir introduced his
girl (Yasmin) to his father and the father was comfortable with this
relationship, but Jumana did not like Osman's narrow-mindedness and
told him she did not want to get married. The friendship continued
between the two girls even though Yasmin married Samir and had a son
with him. The film's title song is performed by Riko as an event at a
recording studio.
