Synopsis:
Fathy Nawfal is a lawyer who specializes in defending poor people. He is also quite fond of women and strong drink. His latest case is the defense of a woman named Sameera, who stands accused of prostitution. The prosecuting attorney for the case is Ali, his polar opposite. He is an Islamic fundamentalist with political aspirations. While Fathy is successful in court, Ali is more focused on building a political career. Since he cannot run as a candidate himself, he selects another man whom he supports and influences.
