Synopsis
This film is based on the real life events that happened in Egypt during the Gamal Abdel Nasser era. We are introduced to a group of middle-aged friends. Each night, they all come together to meet on a luxurious houseboat to enjoy activities such as dancing, love-making, and smoking hashish. However, when a young news reporter visits the houseboat to write a story on the group, she's is surprised by outrage when she learns about the group's tragic depths of alienation. This movie is based on the novel by Naguib Mahfouz.
