Director Ayten Amin has created a film that falls somewhere in between a drama and a comedy, which offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of everyday Egypt. By following the characters through times of illness, intimacy, joy, and death, Amin has created a film that truly engages her audience. The main character, Hussein (Khaled Abol Naga), is a cranky architect who suffers from a terminal illness (that is never explicitly mentioned in the film). Unable to connect emotionally with people, Hussein enjoys a life in solitary, living in his family’s old home. He takes pleasure in an occasional visit from his nurse, Hanaa (Heba Yousry) or lover, Sanna (Arwa Gouda). When Hussein’s sister, Nadra (Lebleba) and great-nephew Seif (Omar El Ghandour), move in with him, he becomes uncomfortable because he is forced to change his lifestyle. Hussein is now compelled to start thinking about someone other than himself.
