The film is directed and written by Hussein el-Mohandess, and stars Salah Zulfikar and Nahed Sherif.

Hamed is considered one of the most eligible bachelors in the village, and while his mother wants him to pick a glamorous village woman, he is struck by a dancing gypsy girl named Khaleda and determined to seduce her.

Opposed by her patron Sharif and his family, Hamed elopes with Khaleda to the coastal region of El Manzala, where they eke out a modest living on his fishing wages and their whereabouts are known to none back home except the trusted Sheikh Mabrouk.

Sharif, however, arrives at their bungalow to retrieve his meal ticket, convincing her to leave Hamed.

Sheikh Mabrouk shelters her and sends for Hamed when she suffers health complications after giving birth to a son, which ultimately kill her.
