        Overview

        A passionate liaison with a chemistry student some 20 years her junior causes Naila (an affecting Sanaa Gameel) to reflect on her agency and life choices — including her relationship with her shallow and vain husband, played by Chahine. Chahine’s pointed critique of contemporary bourgeois Egyptian life is rich with metaphor as it contemplates social change and its impact on the future.

        Restored by Misr International Films.
