This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Wahib Fahmy to promote
the 1982 124-minute Hisham Abu El-Nasr color film The Mawardy
Cafe ['ahwet al-mawardy] starring Farid Shawqi based on a story by
Ahmed Galal with screenplay and dialogue by Mohsen Zayed and
cinematography by Abdel Moneim Bahnassy. Plot summary: Hassanein Abu
Sena [Youssef Chaban] got out of prison after killing one of the
residents of his building. Fear overtook the people in his
neighborhood because of his domination. Abu Sena persuaded some of
the people to leave their apartments in his building in exchange for
money and he converted those units into commercial shops and
import-export offices. Abu Sena convinced Ghabasha [Hassan Hosny] to
rent a furnished apartment to a wealthy Arab named Redwan. A
journalist named Ahmad [Farouk Al-Fichawi] recorded the changes that
had been happening in the neighborhood but his editor refused to
publish his articles. Safrut [Abdel Salam Mohamed] liked Farawla
[Nabila Ebeid] but she rejected him. He therefore quit his job
working in the coffee house owned by her father al-Mawardy [Farid
Shawqi] and left the neighborhood. Al-Mawardy married his mistress
Ragaa after having problems with Abu Sena. Ghabasha pressured his
niece Warda [Maha Osman] to marry Redwan, but on the wedding day she
fled to Alexandria. She also liked her neighbor the student Mamdouh
[Farid Mahmoud], but he had no feelings for her. Safrut returned to
the neighborhood after becoming wealthy. Abu Sena and Safrut made an
agreement with Ghabasha to kill Ahmad on the night of his marriage to
Farawla. Al-Mawardy divored his wife Ragaa. Ahmad's friend Shabaan
[Mamdouh Abd El Aleem] collected his articles about the neighborhood
and published them in a book of memories. When Mamdouh read what
Ahmed had written about him he recognized his mistake and went back to
Warda in Alexandria. The two of them married in a celebration in the
neighborhood. Abu Sena died at the hands of unknown murderers.
