Atiyyah el-Gabalawi is a possessive man who imposes strict control over his family, whether it is his sister Tafidah who tried to run away from home to marry the one she loves, but she quickly returns after his murder, or his daughter Samiya who was prevented from going to school since she was young and was condemned to ignorance, until fate brings her Azza, her brother Ahmad's colleague at university.
