This is a tale about the fall of a great Egyptian family, waiting for the liberation of their unique son after 12 years in jail. Ali is freed eventually, but his prison years have broken his youth and ideals. After the family reunion, soon comes for his relatives the disillusion. Whether for Fatma, his fiancée, who has been waiting for him the all time; whether for Hassouna, the worker that has put in him his hopes for a better world and even for Ibrahim, Ali's nephew, who hopelessly counted on his experience and advice for future projects.
