Plot Summary: Tawhida [Magda El-Khatib] and Hussein [Nour El-Sherfi]
were passionately in love in Alexandria and she became pregnant.
Hussein left her and the unborn child because he did not have enough
income to provide for them. Tawhida could not find anyone to save her
and her child from this predicament other than an older man named Said
Bey [Rushdy Abaza] who married her; she had the child after marrying
him. Hussein returned to learn that his love had married. He tried
to restore their relationship but she turned away from him; he also
discovered she had had a son by him and they quarreled over this. Then
he withdrew from their lives. Then Said also withdrew, realizing that
it was the best thing for everyone, and Tawhida and her son finally
went back to Hussein. In one scene the ill-fated Italian cruise ship
Achille Lauro is shown in a closeup as incidental scenery docked at
the Port of Alexandria, about ten years before it was hijacked off the
coast of Egypt by four men representing the Palestine Liberation
Front.
