Desires [raghabat mamnu'a] starring Shadia based on a story by
Hanifa Fathy with screenplay and dialogue by Sabry Moussa and
cinematography by Mohsen Nasr. Plot summary: Tafida [Karima Mokhtar]
was a young woman of breathtaking beauty but her brother Ahmed Atia
al-Gablawy [Hussein Fahmy] put strict controls on her; She was forced
to flee those restraints so she could marry the man she loved, whom
her brother had forbidden her to marry. When she arrived at the
shipping yard in Alexandria where she had agreed to meet her beloved
she was surprised to find someone attacking him, and the attacker
killed him as soon as he saw her. She tried in vain to save him but
he died from the stab wounds all over his body. Tafida went back to
her brother's home, her clothes stained with the blood of her beloved;
her brother's daughter Samia [Shadia] was upset at the sight of the
blood and screamed. The days passed and it seemed as if Tafida had
become deranged after seeing her beloved killed before her eyes. Her
brother Atia got her a room far away from his home close to the docks
and he did not allow her to see anyone or anyone to see her. Atia
al-Gablawy was a hard-hearted man whose human emotions were all dead,
but despite that he was quite possessive. For example he refused to
allow his daugher Samia to attend school because he didn't want anyone
to see her. She lived in ignorance and felt very bad because of that.
He sent his son to school to learn the sciences that would qualify him
to help at the factory he had established, but Ahmad continued his
studies and enrolled at the faculty of fine arts to study art,
unbeknownst to his father. Ahmed fell in love with a classmate named
Azza [Mervat Amin] and they decided to marry. Naturally with their
marital plans Azza learned everything about Ahmed and he learned
everything about her. Azza decided to do a graduation project at the
college about the docks area in Alexandria and Ahmad encouraged
her. He even invited her to live with his family so she could complete
her studies. Azza went to the docks area near Alexandria while Ahmad
happened to be with his father at the factory. She was surprised to
see Samia; he had not known she was her brother's classmate and was
even educated, after being sentenced to ignorance by her father. She
made a show of welcoming her and while she was preparing a room for
her Azza walked around the house. She wandered into the room where
Tafida was staying and screamed in fright at the sight of her. Tafida
screamed more loudly and the panic spread. Atia and his son Ahmad
happened to arrive at the same time, and Ahmad welcomed Azza. He
introduced her to his father who also welcomed her; this calmed her
after the shock of seeing Tafida. Despite Atia Al-Jablawy's show of
welcoming his son's classmate, he watched her closely so she would not
discover the truth about him or what drove Tafida crazy, and
especially the fact that the one who had killed Tafida's beloved was
the husband [Ezzat Abdel Gawad] of the maid Shawq [Aida Abd el Aziz].
Because he feared that discovery, he also concealed his feelings from
his children and behaved in an exemplary way in front of them. It was
of the utmost importance to Azza that the father know the nature of
her relationship with Ahmed's daughter, who deeply loved him. She
insisted on revealing to Ahmad's father their agreement to travel to
Europe to complete their studies, but Ahmed was reluctant to do this
because he knew about his father's ethics and tyranny. However
because of Azza's insistence he had to tell the truth to his father,
who erupted in anger and decided to break up their relationship no
matter what the cost. In the meantime the criminal who had killed
Tafida's beloved had finished his sentence and was about to get out of
prison; his wife was afraid because she had been in a sinful
relationship with Atia al-Gablawy [Mahmoud El-Meliguy] throughout the period of her
husband's absence. She decided to ask for a divorce. The father did
not care about that because he was preoccupied with his son's
relationship with his friend Azza. When Azza saw the father's control
over his son she decided to return to Cairo immediately; one day Ahmed
came across the place where his father had been meeting the maid
Shawq, and just then his sister Samia came upon the same scene!

Bahlul tried to distance himself from his father's class of people.

married the pasha's daughter and set his sights on winning a seat in
Parliament. The father stuck with his principles hoping to rekindle
