Plot
This film is set in 1930s Syria's pre-independence days. Adil (Jihad Sahd) was born into wealth yet empathizes with the poor, renounces his family and joins the "lower orders." He is given a crash course in Syrian customs by the Old Man (Rafik El Soubeil). Adil is awakened sexually by the ingratiating prostitute (Muna Wassef). Adil's father finds his son, is envious of the Old Man's relationship with the boy and he exacts a terrible revenge on the old man by using his money and social position as protection from legal consequences.[2]
