Nubi spent a period of his life in a mental hospital after his father deposited him unjustly. He is not crazy, but his father donated all he had to the Communist Party, which was adhering to its principles. The government then placed the family property under guard. Nubian lives with his mother Rose and discover amazing facts, including that his father, who bears his name is not his real father, but his mother gave birth to her brown friend, and then discovered that his brother missed the family and no one knows his place but joined the extremist group.

This concise masterpiece began as a commission by French TV for the news series Envoyé spécial. By filming Cairo with his unique sense of artistic digression, Chahine transformed this portrait of a city into the self-portrait of a filmmaker.
