[narrator] Our life is full of numbers.

Dates of birth and phone numbers,

license plate numbers,
or even specific times.

Some think numbers are meaningless,

others are convinced
that they're cosmic messages.

Details and signs

show them that they're going
in the right direction.

But each direction we take,

whether it's right or wrong,

affects us and many others.

Every detail of our life,
no matter how small,

may prevent us from evil,

or get us involved in it.

Some will think it's a message,

others will think
it is just a coincidence.

What an inappropriate way
to park your car. I was blamed for it.

You should've left the key.

Alia, why didn't you tell me
about seeing Dr. Eyad again?

Sorry, Tarek.
I'll call you after I'm done.

Where should I park the car?

[dramatic soundtrack]

[people's chartter]

[ambulance siren]

Rest, Mr. Youssef,
the nurse will call your name shortly.

Okay.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

I have an appointment with Dr. Eyad.

- Your phone number?
- 0100755...

[woman crying]

[Woman] Dr. Hisham Eissa has to go to...

Mrs. Alia Almerghany, Doctor Eyad.

Mrs. Alia, rest at the reception.

Doctor Eyad's nurse will call you shortly.

Okay.

[phone ringing]

I'll go buy something,
In case it's my turn and I'm not here.

- [receptionist] Okay.
- Thanks.

I've an appointment with Dr. Eyad.

[purring water]

[sniffing]

- Aren't you ready yet?
- I'm almost done.

- Where are my cigarettes?
- On the table.

Didn't we agree not to smoke in bedroom?

Too stubborn!

That's why you love me.

Seriously, why did you love me?

You always have these strange thoughts.

- Answer the question.
- The man sleeps and the woman thinks.

Even married people?

What about them?

When the man sleeps, the woman thinks?

Which question should I answer now?

The first one, why did you love me?

I love you for a long time,
since college. I forgot why.

I didn't ask you when, I ask you why.

I've loved you

for your silence.

A typical woman can't be silent.

What else?

- How greedy!
- [phone ringing]

[closes window]

- She hung up.

We should go back to the office.

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON COMPLICATING IT?

DO YOU THINK I WOULD'VE PUT YOU
IN THIS SITUATION?

[phone ringing]

If it's not in your car or at Lounge Café,
it definitely had been stolen.

I'll check with Yasser.

- Looking for this?
- What is this? Where did you find it?

You mean whom I found it with.

Can we sit and have a drink?

I will tell you, and talk a little.

I don't want to be late, Radi.

Aren't we finished talking?

Let's spend some time,
as if you're still looking for it.

Total is 85 EGP.

[knock on window]

Won't you move your car?

If you talked to her again,
we'll look bad.

I'll wait for you on the balcony.

What's going on?

Good evening.

A croissant and a latte,
total cost is 66 EGP.

Tarek, please leave me alone.

How can I leave you alone, Alia?

You never take these injections alone.

Leave me alone
and close the door behind you.

Leave me, Tarek.

[door is closing]

[syringe crackling]

[dramatic soundtrack]

[exhale and sighs]

[dramatic soundtrack]

[exhale]

Everything will be okay.

It will work this time.

This is a test from God.

Who could handle it, Tarek?

I'm mentally
and psychologically exhausted.

It's okay.

It's okay, my love.

Everything will be okay.

Have a little patience.

I no longer know who needs
to be patient, me or you?

Me and you.

Both of us.

Alia...

We have to try again and again.

This is the fifth time!

The fifth time, Tarek.

Don't worry. Please don't jump the gun.

Only God knows what will happen next.

[music tempo surges]

[smashing the syringe]

- [nurse] Wish her speedy recovery.
- Thanks.

The doctor is coming now.

I'm cold, Tarek.

[door is closing]

[dramatic soundtrack]

I want to leave.

Wait, you're still on drugs, honey.

- No, I want to go home.
- Wait a minute for me.

Mrs. Alia, I can't agree
that you make IVF for the sixth time.

But as far as we know,

many people do it up to ten times.

I have patients who get pregnant
after the 15th or 16th time.

But each case is different.

Age isn't in your favor.

In your case, injecting hormones

may cause clots or a heart attack.

It's not easy.

Listen, the success percentage
is less than ten percent.

And as I told you, manipulate hormones
is dangerous for you.

We'll start the new cycle
six weeks later anyway.

Think well and make up your mind.

And we'll repeat the
tests from the start...

[The doctor's voice fades]
[sad soundtrack gets louder]

[TV sound in the background]

Do you think this is the solution?

I know how much you want us to have kids,

you must be thinking of leaving me.

Don't I have the right
to be a father, Alia?

Even if you know it'd break me?

Admit that you deprived me of this right,

when you decided not to have kids
until after four years of marriage.

[quiet soundtrack]

[doorbell]

[door is closing]

How are you, Hassoun? Put this inside.

- Tito, I missed you.
- How are you, and my aunt?

- How are you, Alia? Fine.
- Good.

Do you check on your aunt before your mom?

She is like a mother to me too.

- How are you, my dear?
- I'm fine, hope you are.

- I'm Fine.
- How are you, Alia? Come kiss me.

How are you doing?

I'm fine, my dear.

- Hurry up and wash your hands.
- Okay.

Alia, come with me to the kitchen.
Let's set the table. Come on.

- Welcome, dear.
- How are you?

I'm fine as long as you both are fine.

Hope that you be blessed
with having kids soon.

- God willing.
- Come on.

Alia, put this on the table.

Come with me
to tell them what you're saying.

What's up? What are you arguing about?

Your son claims
that I rushed the divorce decision.

How could you say that, son?
He made her suffer!

Come on, before the food gets cold.

Come on, Alia.

Thanks, mom. Molokhia is delicious.

I asked your wife to come
to teach her the recipe but she didn't.

Forgive me,
as you know I'm busy with work.

It's okay, It's even better,
so we can eat it here every time.

Tell me, what are we going
to do about work?

- I'm so excited.
- What work?

- Hala wants to work with me.
- And what are you going to do?

Director Producer.

Hey, no need to talk about work
while we eat.

Give me some potato
before your son finishes it.

[the mother laughs]

[dramatic soundtrack]

[the mother talking]

...you wouldn't be the same now.

It certainly won't work again.

Didn't I tell you not to marry
a woman older than you?

You would have got a son his age now.

This is not due to her age.

- Age difference between us isn't big.
- No, you're wrong.

Mrs. Noha asked to change the floor
and doors colors and I don't know...

She has always used her work as an excuse,

and now what I was afraid of has happened.

Sorry, Tarek, I don't mean to intrude.

But it's really hard for a woman
over 40 to have kids.

Unless she's given birth before.

Can we end this now?

[music rises]

GERMAN HOSPITAL - WE REMIND YOU
OF YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH DR. EYAD

Do you have money?

- Yes. Do you need some?
- No.

I want sesame pastries.

[opens a wallet]

Take this, buy me pastries,
and sweets for yourself,

and don't waste all the money.

Absolutely not, am I a fool to do that?

Fine.

- [steps away]
- [opening the door]

[closing the door]

I swear, if you ever
get close to Mai again,

I will hang you naked in the street.

What's wrong, man?

[beeps and car horns]

Alia, why didn't you tell me
about seeing Dr. Eyad again?

Sorry, Tarek.
I'll call you after I'm done.

11:00 P.M.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH.

[dramatic soundtrack]

Oh God!

Wait a minute!

How does my client pay two million
in compensation after a year of work?

Mr. Said, we reduced the value
of compensation after agreement...

These things are done by pressure,
not agreement, Mr. counselor.

We're not used to this method, Mr. Said.

Because you follow an old style.

Forget about my late father-in-law,
Look at me.

I have the final decision.

Our client's situation is weak.

It's important to minimize the casualty.

And we have nothing
to impose our conditions.

I will erase this sum of reconciliation,
and consider it not exists.

Get out, until I know what to do! Get out.

Mrs. Nada, wait. I need you.

[closing the door]

- Don't object to what I say.
- What's wrong with you?

Nothing. As you see,
their thinking is old. Awful.

Nermin.

- What?
- Nermin.

- Hello.
- What is this? Come here!

What a pleasant surprise?

Hello, my love, come on in.
You can go Ms. Nada.

- Let's continue our conversation later.
- Let her stay.

I came today to organize our time,
the three of us.

To keep doing what you're doing.

No, sweetheart, we're done. Go, Ms. Nada.

- Excuse me.
- Don't move.

Said, I asked you specifically today
to pick up your son and you forgot.

They called you many times
and you didn't answer.

I had to leave the event
to pick him up myself.

I'm sorry honey, I forgot.
We were late in court.

Court until 8:00 pm?

And then what?

My love,

you need to organize your time
considering your wife and your son's sake.

It's very simple.

Karim's training on Sundays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays.

You two can have sex
on Mondays and Wednesdays.

It is preferable
to spend the weekend with family.

I forgot.

It is also better if you don't use
our old flat, or change the bed.

You two are disgusting.

[steps away]

What are you doing, Said?

- I don't know.
- Go after her!

Nermin.

Nermin.

Nermin, stop it. Don't make a scene.

Make a scene? I didn't raise my voice.

No, but the bullshit you said...

Bullshit? You're a liar!

This is not true. You are delusional.

You're not only a liar, but also a coward.

- Don't cross the line.
- You are the one who is doing that.

You must learn not to cross the line.

- Excuse me.
- No, you shouldn't be driving.

- I'll drive you home.
- I'll go. Let go of me!

- Step away!
- I can't let a catastrophe occur.

The catastrophe is already occurred.

[hospital phone rings]

Rest, Mr. Youssef.
The nurse will call your name immediately.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- You go first.
- Thanks a lot, I don't want to delay you.

It's Okay. Wish you speedy recovery.

I have an appointment with Dr. Eyad.

- Your phone number?
- 011515...

[dramatic soundtrack]

[woman crying]

[Nada] Where are you, Said?

Why don't you answer me? Where are you?

Mrs. Alia, rest.
Doctor Eyad's nurse will call you shortly.

Okay.

I'll buy something,
In case it's my turn and I'm not here.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

...you caused the damage and ran away!

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON COMPLICATING IT?

DO YOU THINK

I WOULD'VE PUT YOU IN THIS SITUATION?

[phone ringing]

Buy a rose. I hope you marry her.

Later, Walaa.

If it's not in your car or at Lounge Café,
it definitely had been stolen.

I'll check with Yasser.

- Looking for this?
- What is this?

Where did you find it?

You mean whom I found it with.

[dramatic soundtrack]

[panting]

[bullet bang]

[glass shattering]

[dramatic soundtrack]

I want to understand your problem.

- I won't leave my father, Mai.
- Did I ask you to, Radi?

I want you to arrange your life,
this is very important for your future.

My future!

I'm serious, Radi.

Do you want to have
a notable position in society?

Or you want to spend
the rest of your life a seller?

Fine.

What do you mean? Wait, Radi.

I don't mean to bother you...

This is enough, Mai. I'll think
about my future, then we'll talk later.

[phone ringing]

Yes, Layla.

[quiet soundtrack]

[phone ringing]

Kiss your father's hand.

Come on, take your stuff.

- Karam.
- What?

- "What"? You must respond with yes.
- Yes?

Wear it.

Take care of your brother
and don't make troubles.

- We must cut your hair when you're back.
- Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

- Walk side by side.
- All right.

- And walk on the sidewalk.
- Okay.

We'll move in a few seconds.
I'll get the key.

Go to your collage, son.

I'll walk to the Kiosk to open it myself.

We'll walk together,
it's next to the collage.

- Good. Come on. May God help us.
- Fine.

Come on, Radi.

You'll be late for college, Mr. engineer.

I'm done, dad.

I'm the cruel one? He left me and gone.

Surely, he would.
Don't you see what he does for his father?

And what did I say about this?
I want him to arrange his life.

Dr. Abdulhadi offered him many times
to train in his office.

He refuses. As he spends mornings
at college and nights in the kiosk.

When he'll train?

Take it easy on him,
He's a real gentleman.

This is rare these days.

I know this very well.
He is, and I love him,

but what should I do?
it is not my decision alone.

What do I say to my father,
mother, family, and other people?

He's an engineer, works in a kiosk.

Okay. Finish your meal, we have lectures.

I don't know
what I'd do without you, Radi.

As we agreed, I'll stay until I find a job
and then hire someone else.

Hiring someone else?
Won't this person get paid?

You have to put your family first.

Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

Layla, never talk to me
about this again, seriously.

Yes, mom.

Listen, I'm going to lectures.

No, I'm at college.

No, I'm about to leave.

Well, goodbye.

How are you, Mai?

Come spend a little evening with us...

What are you doing? Step away.

- Calm down, Mai. Sorry.
- Stop it, Mando.

Excuse me.

[the bag hits the ground]

I'm sorry, excuse me, Mai.

This is me, not mom, Layla.

The tracking app shows that my phone
at Lounge Café.

How come?

I don't know.

I only remember calling mom
after leaving you.

Come with me to look for it.

What about Radi?

No, I don't want to talk to him at all.

Well then, I'll go find it myself.

Fine. Goodbye.

Take this, buy me pastries,
and sweets for yourself,

and don't waste all the money.

- Absolutely not, am I a fool to do that?
- Fine.

[opening the door]

[closing the door]

Thanks.

Red box.

Radi, I took a Pepsi and I want hairspray.

- How much?
- Ten pounds.

Okay.

[car horns]

How much?

[car alarm]

[car door closes]

[start the car engine]

What's wrong, Mr. engineer?

- [Bottle hits the car]
- What is this?

[blaring soundtrack]

What's wrong with this boy?

What do you want?

[body hits the ground]

Give me this phone.

Give me...

I swear, if you ever
get close to Mai again,

- I will hang you naked in the street.
- What's wrong?

It's all right, Mr. Hejazy.

Alright, Radi.

Sorry, Tarek.
I'll call you after I'm done.

[dramatic soundtrack]

Slow down, Nermin. The boy is scared.

Who is scared? Him or you?

Why would I? I didn't do anything.

You insist on embarrassing yourself.

I'll tell you,

I saw her smoking by the window
of my bedroom in our old house.

But I wasn't surprised, I already knew.

I've known for a long time
and I didn't say anything.

Why didn't you keep silence
and pretending that you don't know?

Because I'm bored.

I'm done.

You're done or is my contract expired?

I thought you had a few feelings left.

But no, you broke it out of boredom.

I got bored too.

I'm tired of a woman like you,
fake and hollow.

Can't love or hate me.

- But I loved you.
- And I loved you.

Then what happened?

We got married!

Really?

Careful, Nermin!

- You go first.
- Thanks a lot, I don't want to delay you.

It's Okay. Wish you speedy recovery.

Won't you give me medicine?

- I already did, darling.
- All right, my dear.

I swear to you,
you won't find better than 12C.

There's another similar unit
but I don't recommend it.

Well, see you on Thursday.

I'll show you the master plan
and you decide.

Any time that suits you.

Well, 11 p.m. is fine.

I know Lounge Café.

Well, see you there.
I'll call to confirm the appointment.

Goodbye.

How are you, Fawzia? Hello, Dodo.

Hello, my love.

This woman doesn't give me medicine.

- I'll make you dinner.
- Okay, my love.

- How are you, Mr. Ali?
- Hi, Zayn.

- Zayn without nicknames?
- Yes.

From whom did you inherit this disrespect?

Listen...

Hide it and don't tell your mom
that I brought you something.

Okay? So she doesn't scold us.

[door is opening]

How are you, beautiful Fawzia?

Where did Zayn go?

- I want to buy school supplies for him.
- Wait a moment.

- [sad soundtrack]
- I'm Zayn, my love. Your son.

And this is Ali.

Ali is my son.

I'll go check on the woman inside.

- What a beauty!
- Thanks.

No!

- Please stand here and don't interfere.
- Okay, sorry.

- Have you had a good day?
- Wasn't the best.

I'll earn a very good profit
if I sealed today's deal.

And hire someone to help you.

Please pray for me.

God bless you, my love.

But before hiring someone to help me,
chop up the salad now.

I don't like to cut tomatoes.

- What did you cook for us today?
- Same as yesterday, what do you think?

- Was there no salad left from yesterday?
- No kidding!

Zozo hasn't left me all day until now.

I also won't leave you
even for a moment today.

Stand there, you are punished.

- Don't chop salad or anything. go.
- Why are you treating me this way? Okay.

Come on.

[glass shattering]

- What happened, mom?
- What happened?

- Step away!
- I was taking medicine and the cup broke.

Why did you do this, mom?
Why, darling? Sit down.

Take this medicine away from her.

Didn't I tell you
not to put it in front of her?

Hello, Doctor...

[dramatic soundtrack]

Thank God,
the doctor said everything is fine...

Thank God.

...and we should
keep the medicine out of her reach.

All right.

Go get Ali to sleep,
I'll sit with her for a bit.

- Okay.
- Come on.

- Zayn...
- Yes, my love.

I'll prepare the bathroom for you.

I beg you! It's been a long time
since we did that.

- Don't be late.
- All right, sweetheart.

- Who is that you call her sweetheart?
- Definitely you, sweetheart.

No one more precious than you.

She brought games and stuff...

she brought...

- a bag
- a bag

that has a goose and a duck

says...

Do you know the boy called Zayn...

[dramatic soundtrack]

HEND

Good morning, Dodo.

Good morning.

Sorry, I got busy with Zozo last night.

I fell asleep unintentionally.

Don't worry. Did she wake up?

Yes, and I gave her medicine at 7 a.m.

And hid the rest over the refrigerator.

Good.

I wanted to tell you something,
but please don't be mad.

I don't have time.
I have a meeting now to attend.

- Want me to buy something when I get back?
- No, thank you.

Tell me then.

I thought... it's just an idea.

You said you'd hire someone to help me,

instead of hiring someone,
and paying a lot of money for her,

we will pay for her food as well.

I thought we could with that money

send your mother to a nursing home.

They will look after her
and give her medication on time.

And so on.

Didn't we discuss this before?

And I asked you
not to bring it up again, Hend?

[dramatic soundtrack]

Come on, Ali.

I made you great soup, Fawzia.

[TV sound]

Why did you leave the door open?

Fawzia.

Where did you go?

Ali!

Ali?

Ali.

[suspense soundtrack]

Help me, Zayn.

Your mother went out with Ali
and I can't find them.

I don't know! Please don't yell at me!

I don't know what to do, I'm already out.
I searched for them everywhere.

[suspense soundtrack]

- Mom.
- Ali, wait!

Ali, darling.

Ali.

How could you do this, Ali?

Leaving me like this, Ali darling?
Is this right?

Don't do that again, got it?

Where's your granny?

She left me and gone.

Where did she go?

Zayn, I found Ali
but I can't find your mom.

[text message notification]

Zayn, I found Ali
but I can't find your mom.

[phone ringing]

Are you idiot?

What do you mean you lost my mom?

Did I leave mom with a little girl?

What's this tone, Zayn?

She opened the door and went down,
what can I do?

You've been spending your time
on Facebook and Instagram,

browsing the dresses that you like!

Forgetting about an old woman
who can't even remember her name.

Right. I do nothing all day
but browse the phone!

You forget that she couldn't do anything
without me.

I take good care of her, Zayn.

She could've lost my son.

Go home and I'll deal with it.

- Have you seen my mom?
- No.

Has my mom passed by here, Hassan?

Oh, God.

[phone ringing]

Hello, uncle Yasser.

Thanks God!

Can you stay with her until I come?
Where are you?

I'll come now.
Please stay with her, uncle Yasser.

Thank God!

Thank God!

Mom!

[dramatic soundtrack]

Why did you do this, Fawzia?
I was worried about you, my love.

I'm buying school clothes for Zayn.

Okay. How about we buy it together?

Let's go?

All right.

- Sorry, I bothered you.
- Don't worry.

Let's go, my love.

Come on. Let's go.

Can you not repeat this behavior?

For my sake, Fawzia. For my sake.

[opening the door]

[TV sound]

Hend.

Dodo.

Sit, my love.

[dramatic soundtrack]

Hend.

It is natural for me to be angry, madam.

My wife tells me she lost my sick mother
and can't find her.

You must understand my situation.

I won't put my mother in a nursing home!

Wait a second, will you be okay
if you are in the same situation?

I don't know if it's your idea or Hend's.
But frankly, it's an idea...

That's why I told you
that I wanted to speak to her.

All right. I'll give her some space.

Well, goodbye, madam.

[knock on the door]

How are you, Zekas, sweetheart?

- Fine, darling. Sorry for bothering you.
- Not at all.

Go talk to your wife
and everything will be okay.

And don't worry about Fawzia.
I'll take care of her.

- I'm sure darling. Thank you.
- Goodbye.

What do you not understand?

I'm telling you I'm tired.

And you know I did my best.

But every person has a limit,
And I can't stand it anymore.

Not only did your mother become a danger
to herself, but on my son too.

Our son Ali, Zayn.

Well, I understand you are tired.

Does it comfort you
putting my mom in a nursing home?

I'll ask you a question.

When you get older and get sick,
would it be okay for you

that Ali put you in a nursing home, Hend?

Honey, she'll be safer there.

Where she will receive a special care.

This is the last time
we'll talk about this, Hend.

I won't put my mother in a nursing home.

And the fact that I love you,

doesn't mean I'll think,
even for a second,

to choose between you and my mom.
You get what I mean?

[dramatic soundtrack]

Listen, Zayn...

I love you too
and you know that very well.

But my energy ran out.

I did everything I could.

Think about what you will do and tell me.

I'll stay here
until you make up your mind.

Fine.

Good.

[exhales]

Bon Appétit, darling.

Let's get your medicine.

Come on.

Come on.

- Hello.
- Hello, sweetheart.

- How are you, Zekas?
- I'm good, darling.

How are you, Fawzia?

Fawzia had dinner.

I tidy up your room that was upside down.

Now I'll make you eggs as you like them.

- I don't want to bother you.
- Don't mention it.

I am like a mother to you,
just like Fawzia.

[groans]

I miss you, Fawzia.

Where is the other woman?

She's gone.

Where is Zayn?

[dramatic soundtrack]

Zayn is studying, Mom.

Isn't that what you've cared about?

Well, I studied and succeeded.

After you treated me like a soldier,

that has to do everything correctly.

But you only cared about people's talk.

"I won't let people say I failed
to raise you after your dad's death!"

You forgot that you are my mother!

You forgot I needed you,

that I needed you to hold me
as you're holding Ali now.

Even though you think he's Zayn!

You only knew how to say, "Study, Zayn!"

"Do this, Zayn.

Don't go, don't go out,
don't be late, Zayn."

Zayn is studying, mom.

Zayn is studying.

Where is Zayn?

[exhales]

[sad soundtrack]

[dramatic soundtrack]

[exhales]

[phone ringing]

Hello, Mr. Ayman.

How are you?

No, our appointment is the same.

11 pm at Lounge Café.

As it suits you.

See you soon. Goodbye.

I'm going out, Fawzia,
do you want anything?

I want sesame pastries.

Where are you going?
Won't you eat your dinner?

Sorry. It's a meeting,
I'll finish it and come back fast.

Meeting at 10:30 pm? God help you!

Do you have money?

- Do you need some?
- No.

I want sesame pastries.

Take this, buy me pastries,
and sweets for yourself,

and don't waste all the money.

Absolutely not, am I a fool to do that?

Fine.

Alia, why didn't you tell me
about seeing Dr. Eyad again?

Sorry, Tarek.
I'll call you after I'm done.

Where should I park the car?

[sobbing]

Go up to your room, Karim.

[exhales]

What is this?

I guess you won't need
more clothes with her.

Get out, Said.

I'll leave you
to come back to your senses.

- Where are you going?
- To bring a tuxedo. Won't take these!

No, forget about that.

You're out of your mind.

- You are a crazy woman.
- There's none like me!

I just went crazy when I married you,

- to enjoy what my father and I built.
- God damn this life!

God damn this life!

You act like you take credit for me.

I sweated blood to build all of this.

I built all of this.
Or did you not notice?

I noticed very well.

As I also noticed that I failed
to make you a decent man.

I am decent despite your nose.

Do you know what did you fail?

You failed to make me
an improved version of your father.

Who left you and returned
to his old girlfriend.

You made identical copy of him.

I spent years

exactly as you wanted.

Right, well done!

You even outdid him,
and became even more despicable.

You're back to your old girlfriend
who dumped you ten years ago,

- or have you forgotten?
- It might be an act of respect.

I reconnected with her,
so I can deal with you.

A man needs a second woman
to be able to continue with his wife.

- Right.
- Yes.

Woman, in turn, needs another man
to leave her husband.

And I want to leave you, Said.

What do you mean?

What do you mean, Nermin?

Do you want to dump me for another man?

Is there another man?

You did all this for another man?

All you did...

I swear to God, I'll kill you!

Who is he?

Speak! Who is he?

It doesn't matter.
You did all this for him?

[suspenseful soundtrack rises]

There is no other man, Said.

I was only completing your theory.

Did it hurt you? Sorry. The truth hurts.

The truth is that anyone else
can take your place.

It's enough for me that he won't be you!

Tomorrow, you leave your cases
to counselor Sami.

And we'll get divorce, Said.

[phone ringing]

And...

Take Mrs. Nada with you, too.

You've gone mad.

Yes.

All right.

Well, I'm coming.
I'll tell you everything when I come.

- Nada, I'm coming, I'll tell you...
- [bullet bang]

Where is the emergency? My son!

- My son!
- Doctor!

[suspenseful soundtrack]

[crying]

Get out! All because of you!

[Sounds mixed with suspenseful soundtrack]

[phone ringing]

If it's not in your car or at Lounge Café,
it definitely had been stolen.

Buy a rose. I hope you marry her.

- Well, give me one, Walaa.
- I told you!

Invite me to the wedding party.

I'll check it with Yasser.

If you talked to her again,
we'll look bad.

Did you get me? hang up, I'm on the way.

- Looking for this?
- What is this? Where did you find it?

...as if you're still looking for it.

[dramatic soundtrack]

Okay. I will wait for you on the balcony.

What's going on?

Total is 85 EGP.

[groans]

[coin hitting the ground]

- [bullet bang]
- [shattering glass]

[bullet penetrated the wood]

[freaks out]

[text message notification]

Thank God.

Nermin...

I'm sorry, Nermin. I'm...

Let him speak to me.

Yes, Sir, I'm coming.

I'm coming, Sir. Yeah.

[crying]

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

- [bullet bang]
- [car breaks]

[car engine]

Nothing in our life happens by chance.

Every coincidence is originally destiny.

Each one of us has a story,

and every story has endless questions,

- What do we do now?
- [bullet band]

What brings us here at this exact moment?

Why we met today?

And not yesterday?

Why we change our mind at the last minute?

Many unanswered questions.

Sorry, sir, for being late. Seems like
someone threw a stone at the glass.

Would you like anything else?

Yes, I want to add a cold ham sandwich,
without mayonnaise.

- Well, the total becomes 120 EGP.
- 120?

Here you are.

Could you stand in line please?

Thanks.

I can't believe you did all this for me.

I can do anything for you, Mai.

But I can't leave my father.

Well then.

But you must promise me
you won't ignore it.

- Deal?
- Deal.

And thanks for the rose.

Did you see the man
with his shirt covered in blood?

- Where?
- He was right here.

[dramatic soundtrack]

Hend, I understand you're right,

I know you are as worried about Ali
as I am.

That's what I was saying!

You forced me to do that.

Mom has no one but me,
and I won't abandon her.

Yes, Hend, this is my final decision.

Goodbye.

[narrator] Our life changes in an instant.

Between what we like,
and what ruins our life...

Hello, how are you?

...the strange thing is that each one of us
thinks that he is drawing his own path.

I love you too, Tarek.

But as I told you,

I think your cousin
is more suitable for you.

She'll make your dream
and your family's come true.

[narrator] But the truth
is that no one knows his fate.

And the more we try to understand,
we get lost.

Yes, this is my final decision.

But what we must understand,

is that every choice has a price.

We must be ready
to bear the cost of our choices.

NADA

And don't forget that the fine line
between life and death,

might be drawn by the smallest of things.

And might be erased by simplest things.

And because we are all connected
to one another,

we don't feel the results of what we do
until we've gone through it.

Only then will we be sure
that nothing happens by chance.

VOO
