The screenplay is by Mohamed Moustapha Sami, Mohamed Osman and Hassan Imam and cinematography is by Alevise Orfanelli. Plot summary: Plot summary: Naima's (Zubaida Tharwat) cousin Salah (Salah Zulfikar) loved her. He worked at the newspaper Akhbar al-Yom. A motorcycle ran over Naima when she was crossing the street. She recovered quickly but lost her eyesight. Her father Saber (Mohsen Sarhan) suffered a long time and provided the best education for her after he lost his job. He went to the hospital to see about his daughter but he forgot her briefcase with important items in it. There was a spat over this incident between him and the contractor Hamed (Imad Hamdi). Hamed persuaded all his colleagues not to hire Saber; he accumulated wealth while Saber lived in poverty. Hamed swindled the wealthy including Soad, whom he tried to marry by putting pressure on her brother Abbas, who was shot during their encounter. Saber came to Hamed's house at that moment and found the corpse. Saber was then arrested and accused of killing Abbas. At the trial there was a coroner's report on the shooting. Salah tried to shed light on the case in the newspaper while Naima tried to work a cure and recover her sight. Salah discovered Hamed's role and asked the court to interrogate him. In the end the truth was discovered.
