Rebel Ibrahim Hamdy assassinates a pro-colonial Prime Minister but is arrested and hides with a fellow university student, who initially refuses but eventually accepts him. Abdul Hamid Khatib meets Samia and her cousin, and Ibrahim uses the situation to hasten Samia’s marriage, which she rejects. Nawal, the youngest daughter, becomes the liaison between Ibrahim and his colleagues, helping him escape. Abdul Hamid tries to inform the political police of Ibrahim’s location, but Samia stops him. The head of the political police suspects them and punishes them to find Ibrahim. Ibrahim refuses to leave the country, returning to fight colonialism and participating in an operation.

A Man in Our House
"أنا مليش بالسياسة. أنا عملت واجبي""العيد الحقيقي هو عندما يتخلّص بلدي من الاحتلال""عشرين سنة (بعيد عن الوطن والأحبة تكون) من دون حب"مشاهدة الفيلم في رمضان زادت من روعته. رحم الله العاملين على هذا الفيلم.ان ينتهي هذا الفيلم العظيم بجملة "وكانت هذه هي البداية" امر جميل، معبّر فعلا ويبعث الأمل.التبدل بين تسريحات شعر نوال وأختها (ظفائر عندما ينبت الحب ومنسدل عندما ينال منهما) تفصيل جميل.كثير لقطات سينمائية أُعجبت فيها، ومنها عندما رحل إبراهيم وظهر كل مقيمين المنزل، كلٌّ بغرفته يشعر بالحزن الشديد، لا يقدر حتى على الفطور بعد صيام يوم طويل.حبيت التعلم عن هذه الحقبة الزمنية وسؤال نفسي "هل كنت رح اعمل نفس عمل العائلة؟".  سؤال يجب على الجميع ان يطرحه على انفسهم.تمثيل رائع.

“I don't have politics. I did my duty”"The real Eid is when my country gets rid of occupation""Twenty years (far from the homeland and loved ones are) without love"

Appropriate to watch this in Ramadan. That this great movie ends with the sentence "And this was the beginning" is beautiful, really expressive and hopeful. Nawal and her sister's hairstyles and are exchanged at the second half of the film (the two braids are done to symbolize innocence and love sprouting while the hair down showcase maturity and love overtaking more space, marking your body) a beautiful detail!I liked many shots, but the one I liked the most was when Ibrahim left and the cinematographer encompassed all the residents of the house in one frame, each in a room. They were so heartbroken that they couldn't even break their fast. I loved learning about this period of time and ask myself, "Would I do the same as this family did?" A question that everyone should ask themselves. Great acting!
