The film, known for its unique blend of humor and drama, addresses critical societal issues in Egypt, including the socio-economic struggles faced by young couples.
[1] Sameer (Mahmoud Abdel Aziz), a government employee, lives in a two-room-and-living-room apartment, sharing it with his friend, Abdul Raheem (George Sidhom), an elementary school teacher who uses the space to tutor groups of children.
Abdel Maqsoud welcomes the match, knowing Sameer owns a two-room-and-living-room apartment, but Karima's mother, Mrs. Nazly (Naima Al-Sagheer), objects, wanting her daughter to marry a wealthy suitor rather than an employee.
Rushed by this assumption, the marriage is quickly arranged, only for Sameer to discover that the building is co-owned by five families, embroiled in disputes, and mortgaged.
Abdul Raheem moves into a new unit he had reserved with the governorate years ago and returns to his village, where his mother (Hanim Mohamed) arranges his marriage to his cousin Najafa (Farida Seif El-Nasr).
Nazly makes life unbearable for Sameer by running the washing machine late at night and pounding meat noisily, forcing him to move to a cemetery.
The story, screenplay, and dialogue were crafted by Farag Ismail, while Omar Abdel Aziz directed the film, with Ismat serving as the assistant director.
Cinematography was handled by Diaa Al-Din Al-Mahdi, with Rashida Abdul Salam managing the editing and Adel Shukry working on the negatives.
Visual aesthetics were enhanced by Mohamed Bakr as the photographer, Ghassan Salem as the set designer, and Wagih Al-Sharif handling props.
