What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.

When she was a teenager, Nadia was raped by Essam, which led her to abhor sex so much that it caused her divorce from her husband Hussein. As she meets Ahmed and falls for him, Essam reappears in her life, prompting her to seek treatment for her trauma.
