will send her a notice of obedience

She must be forced to return
to the marital home

If she does not attend
she will be considered disobedient

If she does not attend
she will be considered disobedient

and will lose her alimony, see?

That's taking it too far, Miss Fadwa
she is still the mother of my children

Then she should act
in a more proper way

The mother of your children needs to
be disciplined and learn good manners

and know who she is facing

This woman wants to bankrupt you
and take all your money

And you still say she's the mother
of your children? Well, listen

We will file a lawsuit for damages
defamation, and slander

and take large sums of money from her

And I will of course
receive a large percentage of it

We must provide proof of the
psychological harm you suffered

I will forge documents

to show that you were admitted
to a facility for treatment

So, what do you think?
Should I send her the warnings?

and refused them, Shafik?

Do I do anything
other than pamper you?

I wish Hisham would be like me
and pamper his wife

Listen, weren't you going to leave?

Go, because I'm not
in the mood for you

in the mood for you

Fine, I'll go to the store

Would you like me to bring you
anything on my way back? Goodbye

That was kind of you

There was no need
for all this trouble, Mr Hussam

Mr Hussam?

And I'm the one who told Noura
that we're old friends

When she hears you say this
she'll think I was lying to her

When you contacted me to arrange a job
for Noura at the school

for Noura at the school

I was very happy

I remembered the days of our youth

That's why I decided to come
and thank you in person

Unfortunately
the electricity is cut off

Had the circumstances been different

Had the circumstances been different

we would have given you
a much better welcome

Nothing is more
beautiful than simplicity

Candlelight and tranquility

- And the dreamy meeting
- Dreamy?

All we need is some soothing music

And we will be inside
the most beautiful poem

And we will be inside
the most beautiful poem

How wonderful!

You haven't changed at all, Mr Hussam

No, how could that be?
Of course I've changed

My work in education made me a
harsh person in my treatment of others

You can ask her, but of course...

Not with a life partner

I hope the electricity returns and
we wake up from this beautiful dream

Or what do you think?

Have you contacted the
homeowners' association?

homeowners' association?

I am the chairman of the homeowners'
association in the building where I live

And I solve all these problems

And I solve all these problems

The head of the homeowners'
association left many years ago

association left many years ago

- We know nothing about him
- So you must replace him

Appoint a new president
that's what the law stipulates

And does he have any powers
Mr Hussam?

Certainly, any problems
or violations in the apartments

with the residents, in the shops below
the building and in the parking lot

He is the one who solves them

in the building where I live

Thank God
the electricity is finally back on

the electricity is finally back on

- Yes
- You bring good luck, Mr Hussam

This is something I'm used to

Yes, but you need to find a solution
to the owners' association issue

So that this problem
does not happen again

But I wish it would happen again

Welcome, welcome Mr Hussam

Welcome, welcome Mr Hussam

- Mr Hussam
- What?

- Welcome, my dear
- Yes, yes

I will make you a cup of tea
or a cup of coffee

I will make you a cup of tea
or a cup of coffee

- Or perhaps a cold drink
- Prepare a sweet beverage

Instead of trying to reconcile them
for the sake of their children

you encourage him
to file a lawsuit against her

Didn't you see how she
left the kids with him?

He is overwhelmed with the kids, the
house and work, what more can he do?

He is overwhelmed with the kids, the
house and work, what more can he do?

Or are you taking her side
because you are a woman?

Or are you taking her side
because you are a woman?

No one knows what's going on inside
the houses except their inhabitants

May one door be closed on us

You must mean a different door
than mine

than mine

We'll open them both
to create one space

Do you think love
or stubbornness will prevail?

I think stubbornness will prevail

I think we should get back to work
and stop talking

I never expected this from you, Noura

What's wrong, Mr Hussam?
Is there a complaint against me?

We are at school, Noura

We are at school, Noura

It's not a battleground between
you and your ex-husband

I don't understand what you mean
Did Hisham speak to you?

I don't understand what you mean
Did Hisham speak to you?

A messenger came to the school today

bringing you a warning
from a lawyer named

- Fadwa Al-Sheikh
- Let me see

- Fadwa Al-Sheikh
- Let me see

- Oh, my!
- What?

- Oh, my!
- What?

They sent it to my school
not my home address

Fine, I'll get my revenge on you, Hisham

Fine, I'll get my revenge on you, Hisham

That's normal

Especially when someone
wants to annoy another person

and embarrass them
in front of their colleagues

and embarrass them
in front of their colleagues

This is certainly a very bad approach

And know that if you were
not the daughter of Mrs Yusr

And know that if you were
not the daughter of Mrs Yusr

I would have dealt with you differently

Thank you, sir

Excuse me

- Can you explain what this is?
- I swear I didn't do anything

- Be quiet, no one was talking to you
- You started it, Noura

I am afraid for myself and the kids
what is your excuse?

What are you afraid of?
Did I hurt you in some way?

What are you afraid of?
Did I hurt you in some way?

Are you going to turn this
into a feud, Hisham? Fine

What about you?
Did you turn it into a dessert?

What about you?
Did you turn it into a dessert?

You're funny
we'll see each other in court

Let's meet in court
You think I'm afraid of you?

Get back to work, go

You want me to put this brand tag
on these overalls?

You want me to put this brand tag
on these overalls?

Yes, but without it looking
like it was added by sewing

I know you are very skilled at sewing

I know you are very skilled at sewing

Why? It's beautiful
without a brand tag

No, it looks cheap, and this brand
will make it look more expensive

will make it look more expensive

- Is this what your daughter said?
- No, that poor girl

She said nothing, she is content
with what little she has

She said nothing, she is content
with what little she has

But I don't want to belittle her
in front of her university colleagues

They invited her to the party

They invited her to the party

and none of them knows
she's the nanny's daughter

This is wrong, Um Marwa
what are you teaching your daughter?

This is wrong, Um Marwa
what are you teaching your daughter?

I don't need lessons and sermons

Will you sew the brand name
or should I find another tailor?

Leave it, Um Marwa, we'll do it
and you can pick it up tomorrow

Leave it, Um Marwa, we'll do it
and you can pick it up tomorrow

- Okay, peace be upon you

You want me to help her teach her
daughter how to cheat and lie, Jaber?

Are you going to fix the world, Mr Shafik?
This is her way of thinking

Are you going to fix the world, Mr Shafik?
This is her way of thinking

Wrong, all of this is wrong

As you wish, Mr Shafik
will you do it, or should I do it quickly?

As you wish, Mr Shafik
will you do it, or should I do it quickly?

You need to understand, you idiot

This brand tag can't be sewn
on to this fabric

This brand tag can't be sewn
on to this fabric

because it's cheap, it will look fake

This will cause the girl even more
embarrassment in front of her friends

Since you know all this, why didn't
you tell the lady before she left?

Did you let me get a word in?

The problem now is
that when she returns

The problem now is
that when she returns

she will discover that I
did not fulfill her request

I will have disappointed her

What is the solution?

What is the solution?

I didn't like what happened today at all

Unfortunately, I had to speak harshly
to her at school

I don't know what to say to you
Hussam, and I can't blame you

Hussam, and I can't blame you

But I can only describe
what's happening in one word

what's going on
with today's generation

We used to get married
disagree, and make up

We lived together or we didn't

But things didn't get this bad

I want to ask you a question

I want to ask you a question

Did you get married, Hussam?

No, I'm speaking from my observations
of my generation

No, I'm speaking from my observations
of my generation

Does this mean you have developed
a complex about the idea of marriage?

I haven't found the right woman

In the past

I loved a young woman
but it was unrequited

The relationship did not work out

She got married
and had a very cute girl

I have not yet found anyone
to replace her

How wonderful, how lucky she is
to have your love

You searched the whole world

I will never find
anyone to replace her

In any case, everyone
gets what they deserve

Who knows? You might
get another chance together

Nothing is impossible

But the important thing is for her
to be willing

If she's willing, are you?

Don't worry, don't think that Noura's issue
has scared me off

has scared me off

On the contrary, it gave me hope

At other times

to withdraw, ma'am

You are given the same opportunity
lawyer, I will not withdraw

Do you know why? Because the law
supports the poor, vulnerable women

Men also have rights

Especially when
women abuse their rights

- Is this your final decision, lawyer?

And I would like to tell you that I am
absolutely confident that I will win

My client is asking

to obtain her requests
as stated in the statement

This is a well-off man

Sir, the defendant is shirking
his responsibilities

Leaving my client

and to ensure that her young children
have shelter

and to ensure that her young children
have shelter

from destitution and displacement

I object, sir, this is unfounded
and completely untrue

My client has never refused
to provide alimony

Before you is evidence of all the sums
received by the plaintiff

whether it's cash or bank transfers

Sir, my client is a respectable man

A pharmacist with a good reputation

But the plaintiff is abusing her right

Are the addresses listed on the personal
identification cards correct

Are the addresses listed on the personal
identification cards correct

or is there an error?

You have two addresses
for two apartments

across from each other
in the same building

across from each other
in the same building

Yes sir, that's correct

We have been neighbors since childhood

When we got married
we moved into my mother's apartment

After the separation
she returned to her mother's apartment

After the separation
she returned to her mother's apartment

which is opposite to ours

So you live in apartments
across from each other

The kids cross from one door
to the other

And you two came
to face each other in court

And you, ma'am, want to evict him
from his mother's apartment

And you, ma'am, want to evict him
from his mother's apartment

where he lives with his kids?

You are separated
by less than ten meters

What's all this for? Because the law
gives you the right to do so?

And you, Doctor, you support the kids
and take care of them, well done

But didn't you think how they would feel
when you face each other in court?

when you face each other in court?

- She started it, sir
- He started it, sir

- She started it, sir

- You started it
- No, he started it

because what he says goes

If he wanted to return the kids to me
I wouldn't object to taking them

If he wanted to return the kids to me
I wouldn't object to taking them

But I will not give up my rights

- The law guarantees her rights...
- Enough, sir, please

- The law guarantees her rights...
- Enough, sir, please

Quiet, please

The matter has gone beyond
the bounds of law

and entered the realm of absurdity

and entered the realm of absurdity

Your problem is not alimony
or child support

Your problem is stubbornness

You both came here
to hurt the other with the law

You both came here
to hurt the other with the law

Unfortunately, you didn't realize
that the kids are those suffer the most

We see insane things here every day

Imagine a child seeing his father

take him by order of the police
so that he can see him for two hours

so that he can see him for two hours

Or a mother bringing a father to court
for school fees he had already paid

You are instilling in them a cruelty
that is impossible to erase

People come to this place
against their will

against their will

after all means were exhausted

But it's clear that you two came here
of your own free will

Doctor, and madam
marriage is not a game

Doctor, and madam
marriage is not a game

Divorce is not a battle

You share two children

These children are a trust
for which you are responsible

for which you are responsible

I will postpone this matter
until next month's session

in order for you to reconcile

in order for you to reconcile

but this does not mean
that you will get back together

if you both do not want that

The reconciliation
is for the sake of the kids

Come to an agreement
outside this courtroom

Draw up a amicable agreement

Organize your lives with respect

When your children grow up

they will remember that their parents
were respectful

were respectful

They were not simply plaintiff
and defendant

So?

Tell me, what happened?

The judge reprimanded us severely

Honestly, no offense

The kids have nothing to do
with any of this

If you speak
I will imprison you and the doctor!
