Synopsis:
This film follows the lives of eight characters during a single day, before an important soccer game. A young religious nurse Rihan visits her patients in their homes, while her sister Nina dreams of becoming a pop singer. She appears on a TV show where an alcoholic host, Sherif, humiliates her. He is having an affair with the rich older Christian woman, Niveen, but leaves her when she tells him that she is pregnant. Nina breaks up with the hair-dresser Adel to become Selim’s lover. Even though at first glance they all appear to be completely different, they will be united during the festivities after the soccer team wins.
