Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Ahmed likes Fatima, and feelings of love grow between the two, imagining that they are from noble families. A love story develops, and Ahmed asks Fatima to marry him. After the wedding, they have a son named Samir. One day, Fatima goes to visit Suad at her home, but the police raid the place because it is suspicious. Fatima is arrested, and her life is turned upside down.
