The film is set in Alexandria Egypt; the late Ahmed Zaki (1949-2005) plays the part of hairdresser Shokri, who falls in love with Nawal. Nawal is oppressed by her husband Ezzat Abul-Rous [Hussein Fahmy]. She catches him with another woman and demands a divorce on the spot, but he refuses. Nawal despairs and eventually divorces Ezzat anyway, then Marries Shokri. Ezzat has Shokri killed to get revenge. Nawal first learns of Shokri's death when she is called to a morgue to identify his corpse.
