Set in the vibrant Cairo of the eighties, the work follows Tarek, a young doctor living out the destiny mapped out by his family.

Tarek is a doctor who has followed the path marked out by his father: a prestigious practice and a stable marriage. However, his disciplined life shatters when he meets someone who, apparently, has nothing in common with him.
