Open the door, open up

- Its me

- And who are you?
- Please, I beg you, open the door

- I said who are you?
- I am a student, please open the door now

Please open

Thank you so much

I am sorry for disturbing
you in such an hour

Oh my it is you
you are Ahmed, Mr.Ahmed Khaled

Yes, exactly

You look exactly like those photos,
I see in the papers and the television

I thank God because I entered the house
of the famous artist Ahmed Khaled

Because people envy
all famous artists even if...

- What is your name?
- My name is Salwa

Where did you come from?
Why did you come here?

I was on a trip with my school,
we went to Sidi Abdel Rahman

and I got lost on the way back

I kept walking till night fell
I saw the lights of your house so I came

Who is your father?

My father... my father is dead

- Which school are you at?
- Moharm bey high school

When did you go to the beach
of Sidi Abdel Rahman?

This morning

- I was sure
- Of what?

- That you are a liar
- Why?

If you were really lost, you would never
be able to reach this place in one day

- I just want to say to you...
- I want to tell you one thing, get out

- Impossible, sir
- Go now, don't waste my time

Please

Despite your innocent look
yet I knew that you are a liar

- Who is waiting for you outside?
- No one

Go, go now,
don't waste my time

Would you really
kick me out in this weather?

Would you leave me alone
in this total darkness? Please I beg you

- I don't want any trouble
- I swear I won't cause you any trouble

I'll just spend the night and I'll leave as
early as possible I swear I am a good girl

Well, you can lock me in any room

You can even lock the door with
the key or even tie me with a rope

Just let me spend the night
at your house, just tonight

But where are you doing to sleep?

Anywhere, here or even on the floor

I am sure that you have a kind heart

Please do me this great favor

Do you still insist on kicking me out?

Please, I beg you

Thanks a million

Good morning Bisco
I wish I could be as happy as you

You are always happy for no reason

Are you in love?

In the name of God the
most merciful, who are you?

I should be the one who
must ask this question who are you?

How did you open the door?
Bisco, come here boy

Well the professor gave me the key
so I won't disturb him when I come

But who are you?
This is the first time I see you here

Tell me, do you come here a lot?

Who are you?

Oh because I am wearing
my uncle's pygmies?

Your uncle?
Is the professor your uncle?

Yes

And whose daughter are you?
Lady Samira's or lady Nawal

- Oh you know my family very well
- Of course I do, miss

But it seems that you don't
know lady Amina, my mother

May be because
we have been living in Khartoum

Oh

But you did not tell me who are you?

I am Sherif, Sherif Youssef
the student of the professor

- And I am also his assistant
- Oh I see

I would like to tell you that
I was not laughing at you

Don't worry, it looks funny

Tell me Mr. Sherif
what are you going to do now?

I 'am going to work

Could you please postpone your work?

Because there is something
more important now

What miss?

Would you accept to see my uncle working
hard and yet he eats only canned food?

- No
- Of course not

And of course you know
the food he likes, don't you?

Yes of course
he likes boiled food

- Oh, so I want you to buy me those things
- What?

Oh I forgot to ask my uncle
what would he like to have for breakfast?

The professor usually has cheese,
honey and some tea for breakfast

Yes, yes I know
do you have any money?

- I am at your service miss
- Then come with me

I'll write a list of the things
I want you to buy for me

Bisco

Bisco

- Good morning
- It's you

- Bisco, Bisco
- Bisco is in the kitchen

He is eating
he was so hungry

- How did you get out of the room?
- The door was open

Ilocked the door yesterday

Maybe there is
something wrong with the key

The door was not closed

If it was closed how did
I open it while I was inside

- I am not like lady James
- Lady James?

Yes, lady James Bond

This is strange
and what is this?

What is strange?
I just prepared breakfast for you

Would you please eat
your breakfast without being upset?

I made you some beans
and eggs, it is delicious

I don't eat such things

I know that you usually have
cheese, honey and tea for breakfast

but this dish is really tasty

How did you know that I have
cheese and honey for my breakfast?

- I read that in a magazine once
- But I never read this is a magazine

Why should you read
something you already know?

- You are naughty
- Ohyeslam

I know I am not that funny but I want you
to eat your breakfast while you are happy

I'll tell you a joke

A man once raised the
radio and passed under it

It is not funny

Well taste the beans and the eggs and
you'll realize that this dish is a tasty joke

Even if you read this in a magazine

Why did you remember this trivial
information about my breakfast?

Don't you know that I love painting?

And that is why I am interested to know
every thing about great artists and painters

So how can I forget
the great professor of all artists?

I 'am an artist and I know you'll like me

- Then eat something before you leave
- But I can't leave, at least now

- Why?
- Because my gown was burnt

- Show it to me
- Don't you believe me?

I said I want to see it at any case

Someone is coming here now

and 'l ask him to buy you
a new dress so you can leave

You mean Sherif?

How did you know Sherif?

Well he came a while ago
while you were still asleep

- And where did he go?
- I sent him to El Kabari market

The bag is in the front

Mahmoud, Mahmoud

Hello Sherif, so did you
tell professor Ahmed Khaled?

Tell me first
what is going on? What is all this fuss?

Ayoung girl hit a man with the stick of
the umbrella and then she ran away

- And what happened to him?
- He was taken to the hospital

Sherif, I want the professor
to see my paintings

Do you call those
things you draw paintings?

Listen man, I love painting and the
professor can help me he can teach me

Just tell me now
this girl who hit the man...

Not now Sherif,
the inspector is here move it

It is no problem

We are lucky
because we have her photo

A new one from the ID card
of her school, we can enlarge it

Bring the photo and issue an IPB,
also search the houses, the chalets

and the camps of the Bedouins around

Then I am your uncle
and you are simply saying so

This is very strange

Besides, how could you send Sherif
Youssef, the best artist in Alexandria

to buy you things from the market?
How could you treat him like a cook?

Please go now, I don't want any trouble

- Can I say something?
- No, not even a word, enough

Please listen to me

1 told Sherif that you are my uncle
because I thought about your reputation

What? My reputation?

Yes, what would he say is he saw a young
girl wearing his professor's pyjamas

and staying alone with him
in the same Chalet all night?

Don't you think that
what I said made sense?

At any case, when Sherif comes
Ill ask him to give you a lift

How come
I have just arrived from Khartoum

From where?

I'told him that I am
living there with my family

1 did all this to save your reputation

Thank you so much Mr. Sherif

Don't mention,
it is nothing actually

But tell me, why were you late?

Because the police is searching all the
cars that are heading to Alexandria

- Why?
- They found a man who was beaten up

And they are looking
for the person who did that

Please don't mention anything
about this accident to my uncle

You know that this kind of news disturb him
beside, he is very nervous this morning

- Did he wake up?
- Yes, and he went for a walk

He said he does
not want me to stay with him

- Why?
- I don't understand

I came all the way from Khartoum
just to stay and serve him

- I even lost my luggage on the way
- So you have lost your luggage...

And after all this he asked me to leave

He said he couldn't concentrate on his
work and take care of me at the same time

On the contrary, you'll help him

Please Mr. Sherif

If he asked you to buy me any clothes
so I can travel tell him any excuse

He works hard and yet he does not
eat enough food, I must stay with him

Sherif, Sherif

- Good morning, sir
- Good morning Sherif

1 am so sorry for what this girl did

- It was nothing really sir
- No, no, it is no big deal

She is your niece and she
wants you to be comfortable

Uncle

Tell me uncle, would you like
to have some tomato soup?

- Or do you prefer lentil soup
- Don't bother yourself

I'am not going to tastes
what you are going to cook

Come on uncle, calm down

Uncle, uncle
have you gone mad or what?

You are a naughty girl

On the contrary, sir
Miss Salwa wants to...

Listen Sherif
I need a favor from you

- I am at your disposal, sir
- Go buy her a new dress

Yes but today is Saturday,
the shops close in the afternoon

- and tomorrow is also Sunday
- Try to find a shop that is not closed

- Please, for my sake
- Ok, I'll buy her a new dress on Monday

Come in

What?

Haven't you seen an
elegant young lady before?

A man once married a dressy
woman and when he woke up

he found that she
became a promissory note

What? Don't you think
that this joke is funny?

- But I know I am funny
- Yes

You look like a beautiful portrait

It has tender and soft colors

But it is not convincing and it is not honest

Why?

Could you tell me why isn't it
convincing? I want to know the reason

Because you are a liar

I'am a liar, I lied to you

From the very beginning
you were not on a trip with school

I also lied to you when
I said that my gown was burnt

- But...
- I burnt the gown

Is that so?

So I can make sure
that I'll stay here for good

Why?

Because I have no one
I have no family

They all died during the trio
aggression on Port Sayeed City

Calm down, here drink this

Drink

And then what happened Salwa

I was a child

- Uncle Tawfik took me to live with him
- So you do have an uncle?

No, he was an old friend of my
father's, he treated me kindly

He considered me as
his only daughter and then...

He moved to Alexandria and I came with him

- But unfortunately...
- What happened?

One week ago

What happened?

He died, he died

Well, your coffee is great

A man once went to sit in
a café but instead he sat on tea

Good morning

Good morning,
why did they come here?

The police

Oh, they are looking for the
girl who tried to kill the man

- And what did you tell them?
- I said no, no, no

What does that mean?

They asked me if I saw the girl,
if she came to the house

and if she is hiding some where and I said
no as an answer to all those questions

And when I told them that this is the house
of Professor Ahmed Khaled they left

Thank God my uncle is still asleep

You can't imagine how
he hates such disturbing news

Yes, of course

But it seems that this girl is quite strong

Thank you so much for your nice words

I only hope that you are not saying so
because my uncle is your professor

No I swear, it is the truth

- But do you paint like the professor?
- Oh no

He paints, carves on copper,
and he also does sculptures

But I am only a sculptor

Then chop those onions for me

- So you make statues
- People say so

- And did you hold any exhibitions?
- Yes

It seems that you don't
approve of your work

As the professor said, the artist who
is satisfied with his work is not a real artist

At any case the professor said
a very important remark about my work

He said I wouldn't make a great
achievement unless I fell in love

And this is right to a great deal

The professor created his best achievements
only when he fell in love with Dora

Dora?

Yes the woman
whose painting is in his room

Don't you know her? Doriya

Oh yes aunt Doriya
he did not love her not the way you think

How come?

Her features can be seen
in all his paintings up till today

He suffered a lot when she left
him and married another man

And this pain resulted
in his famous painting

Separation, oh my

The onions are difficult to chop

Give them to me

Go ahead and prepare
the Moulkhiya for me

Moulokhiya is far easier

- Listen, I have a great idea
- What is it?

There is something, which we can make

and it would make you
stay here for 10 or 15 days

Really? What is it?

I can make you a statue

And if the professor insisted
on forcing you to travel

Tell him that you can leave
till the statue is completed

It's a great idea

- How long does it take to sculpt a statue?
- Around 10 or 15 days

Come on, stop this nonsense

You need at least 20 to 30 days to create

- 40 days who would object
- Yes, that it right

- Are you sure your uncle won't be upset?
- Why should he?

- If he saw you wearing this dress
- You just work and I'll handle things

Then go to add
the onions and I'll come back

Is it right?

Listen

There was a sculptor like you who
found a watermelon so he carved it

Sherif is making me a statue
so what do you say uncle?

Excuse me, sir

Because I thought
that she is a beautiful model

- That is if you don't object
- I don't object

Salwa must leave
and the statue would take some time

- So have you bought the dress?
- Today is Sunday

Come on uncle
don't be so stubborn

Salwa must leave and she'll leave
tomorrow you buy her a new dress

And you can work on the statue today

and then you can finish it
depending on your memory

Shall I prepare you
some breakfast uncle?

No, I don't want any breakfast

And stop what you are doing in the kitchen

Because I am not going
to eat anything you cook

Bon appetite

so did you like the food
don't you thing I am a great cook

Tell me, when was the last time
you had a good meal like this?

Sherif will buy you a new dress
tomorrow and you can travel then

Salwa try to understand me

I left Cairo and I came here
to work in a quiet place

I can't work while there
is some one staying with me

I swear I won't make you feel my presence
I'll serve you and I'll manage the house

- You'll never even notice my presence
- Salwa

Your presence in this house is not normal

Why not? I am your niece
and I am staying with you

What is wrong about this?

The dress will be here tomorrow
and you should leave tomorrow

Listen sir

Miss Salwa...

Yes Sherif

You were going to say something
about Salwa and then you suddenly stopped

I wished to ask you if she is engaged

- Is she wearing an engagement ring?
- No

Then she is not engaged

- Why are you asking?
- Because I want to ask you to marry her

You are asking me?
Yes but I have no right

What about her father and her mother

Yes but they are traveling to Khartoum, sir

Yes, in Khartoum, but they are her parents

I mean that there is some one
else who is more important that her family

- Who sir?
- Her heart

Yes, true

We resume our local news
bulletin from Alexandria

For the second time today it was difficult

to interrogate the victim who was
assaulted by llham Abdel Aziz

by a weapon and then she fled

Hospital sources revealed
that the victim is in critical condition

and that he can not be questioned

Meanwhile, police
resumed the search for the girl

who is believed to be still hiding in El Agami
area, another accident took place today...

- So did you tell her?
- No

Don't you think that the first thing
you should do is taking her opinion?

I said I should leave
this mission to you, sir

Yes, but as you know that heart
is the only place which do not accept

any recommendations from any one

- So shall I talk to her?
- Why not

You did not tell me what is your opinion?

- About what?
- Have you forgotten that fast?

Salwa I love you
and I want to know your opinion

Sherif, how long
have we known each other?

Around three days

And do you think that this
is enough time for any feeling

to be born between any two people?

It is more than enough, at least for me

Come on, anything needs
time to be born and to grow

What day you mean, Salwa?

I mean that love needs time

But love at first sight is just like copper

it gets hot so quickly and then
it turns cold also so quickly

Didn't you study this in Chemistry?

Come on Salwa
I am talking to you about my love

and you are talking
with me about Chemistry

Because love at first sight is like

I saw you and I loved you at first sight

I realized that
you are like a precious diamond

- 1 might turn out to be a piece of glass
- Impossible Salwa

Sherif, leave every thing to the days
no one knows what is going to happen

- Good morning, Sheirf
- Good morning

So have you brought the dress?

Oh, yes of course
Ill bring it from my car

Do you still insist
after all I have said to you?

I am so sorry Salwa,
but your presence will get me into trouble

What trouble?

Ill find my self in a mess
because I am your uncle

I think you should leave
before things get even worse

Nothing will go wrong

Sorry Salwa

Go ahead and get dressed

But we have not reached
a decision concerning my proposal, sir

Sorry, Sherif
may be some other time, later

What is this?

How can I leave
with such a dress Mr. Sherif?

- Didn't you say that your size is 54?
- I said 44

44 oh my, then it is my fault,
I know nothing about the sizes of women

Thank you

- I am so sorry
-ltis O.K.

Come and sit here

- Put your head here
- What are you going to do?

I'am going to help you get
rid of the pain in a second

- So how do you feel now
- Where did you put my pencil box?

- Where did you put my pencil box?
- In the drawer of the table

- Why aren't you asleep?
- You woke me up

What else can I do?

I no longer know the place
of my things in this house

- Can I sit with you for a while?
- You are welcome

Won't you stop tearing the papers?

I told you I am collecting
the crossword contest

No, please, stop doing that

Salwa why are you so quiet?
you hardly keep quite

I don't know
I am worried and afraid

Of what?

Tomorrow, the future, the days

All human beings, even in
the happiest moments of their lives

feel worried and afraid

Why?

Because we fear the unknown, the coming
days which we know nothing about

Least we should be
deprived of our happiness

Yes, true

That is why
one must be always hopeful

- And the person who has no hope?
- He can create his own hope

He can look to the coming
day from a bright angel

I wish I had any hope to make
me live those coming days

Do you know that a man once found
his shoes torn so he ate them?

And a man once found his shoes
white as an egg so he boiled them

Yes, laugh

Who is this woman whose
painting is hanging over there?

Some one

Yes I know she is some one

Tell me professor

When a painter paints
a portrait for a woman

Must he be in love with her?

And does a painter who paints
200 portraits for 200 woman

must be in love with theme all?

Sure he must have a certain
feeling when he draws his models

You are talkative

What about this woman
in the portrait did you...

- Salwa go to sleep
- It is still early

Good girls must go
to bed early I have work to do

Don' forget to have a glass of warm
milk before you go to sleep good night

Did you see that Bisco
the sea is calm and beautiful

Let us swim for a while

It is not even six o'clock
and the beach is empty

Close your eyes,
don't be impolite

Bisco, don't scandalize me

Bisco shut up

Bisco leave my clothes

Bisco, Bisco, Bisco

Bisco

Bisco, Bisco

Bisco

Bisco

- Who is knocking?
- That is me, open the door

- Who are you?
- I am Salwa

- Salwa?
- Please open the door

- Oh no don't open the door
- Why? What is wrong?

- Please walk away from the door
- Why?

- Because I am...
- What? Why don't you come in?

- No don't look, I am naked
- You are naked, how?

It is not the
right times to discuss this issue

Please open the door and stay away
from it, I'll explain every thing to you later

- So now you are not angry from me
- Yes true

You convinced my
that you are a good girl

And I am not a liar
as you always said to me

- And now I am a liar because of you
- Because of me?

Didn't you tell Sherif
that I am your uncle?

It was the only explanation I could give

And so this lie of yours
got me into trouble

Why?

- Sherif came to me propose to marry you
- What?

So what do you say?
Sherif is a great person

And what did you say to him?

What is your opinion?
You did not tell me

- I am not thinking about marriage now
- When will you start thinking then?

When I fall in love
or don't you believe in love?

How come,
an artist must believe in love

Maybe the artist is afraid least this love
would surround him with restrictions

On the contrary, the artist loves restrictions

He likes to be linked to anything an idea,
a principle or even some he loves

And so how many
times did you fall in love

or are you going to say
that you have never been in love?

No way professor,
love is like iliness

God forbid,
may God protect us from illness?

This is the sweetest illness in the whole
world and it has no cure or remedy

Then not even a vaccine can help

Just like measles professor

One must be infected by it no matter what

On the contrary,
it is not dangerous at all professor

What do you have in mind?

- Why are you absent-minded?
- Nothing

- So won't you finish the painting?
- No, I am tired

OK.

By the way, Salwa

If the room downstairs
is too cold for you

You can move to
the room just next to mine

I hope so professor
I hate to be alone at night

Don't tell me that you are afraid
you are courageous

- Good night
- Good night

Salwa what is this
nonsense you are saying

Being the professors' niece does
not give you the right to be arrogant

Who do you think you are?

Hundreds of young ladies dream
of hearing from me the words I told you

I love you stop being arrogant

Why did you turn your face?
Are you upset my dear?

Oh, now I can tell you all I want
without having to get your approval

Bisco, here is the ball

Can't you hold the other
racket and play with me?

You are a real idiot

- Good morning
- Good morning

- Why did you wake up so early?
- Your voices you and Bisco

I am so sorry

Itis O.K.
I could not sleep anymore

Why?

- You must be in love
- Stop being naughty girl

Oh, yes You become
upset when we talk about her

- Who are you talking about?
- You know very well

Would you like to play with me?

Here is the ball

- No I can't play with you, play with Sherif
- Why?

- Good morning sir
- Good morning, Sherif

- This letter is for you
- Thank you

Then I'll prepare you some breakfast

Later, I have to shave first

- Good morning Salwa
- Congratulate me Sherif

My uncle accepted to let me stay with him

- It that true? So you won't go?
- No

Where are you going?

Take this do we can
get rid of this pyjamas

This is all for me

Thank you Sherif

How nice!

- You have a nice taste
- Merci Sherif

You are great

Your work this
time says something different

Thank you sir,
I'll cherish your words forever

It seems that you have been
affected by the magical touch of love

So did you tell her?

Yes, and she said she needs
some time to think it over

Then give her the chance to think it over

1 only needed your help in convincing her,
I know she would listen to you

0K, Il talk to her where is she?

- This is great you look so elegant
- Merci

So what do you think uncle?

I am going out for a walk

What is wrong with the professor?

And why did he wake up so early?

He never woke up that early

I missed you Salwa

I always miss you

In only one day

Don't wonder

I miss you even when I am with you

What are you saying?

I talked with my mother about
you and she wants to see you

Oh my

She must be upset
because I held my uncle's hands

The rope is torn

It must have been
hanging there for years

- At any case I am glad it fell
- Why?

Because whenever
I come to clean this place

and llook at it I get the
impression that she is smiling to me

But when I take a closer look
Ifind her frowning at me

I don't know why

Professor

- Professor
- Yes

Tell me how did you love her?

- Have you gone mad?
- No, she is the one who is mad

And that is why she
threw herself on the ground

Won't you stop being naughty?

And do you think talking
about love is being naughty

Why don't you tell me
her story? Tell me please

- Why don't you tell me first?
- Tell you what

Are you in love with Sherif?

Sherif is a nice guy
he is also kind

- But I am in love with someone else
- Who is the lucky guy?

A professor

- A professor at my school
- Is that s0?

And how does he look like

He is at your age

He even looks a great deal like you

Then why didn't you go to stay with him
if you are both in love with each other?

Because I am the one who loves
him but he does not over me

This kind of love is a waste

It is like burying a treasure in the desert

This kind of love is the most noble kind

Love begets love

Love Salwa is like any other
thing in this whole world

It depend on the law of give and take

- And the lover who can not take?
- He should not give

I can not help it

- Do you love him that much?
- Yes, and maybe more

Could you tell me how
could I go and tell him?

- I love you
- Don't

What can I do then?

The clever woman should put the
word in the heart of the man she loves

and wait for him till he says it to her

- I wish I met you before
- Why?

Because you are experienced
and you understand everything

So if you were in my place,
how can you tell her? I love you

Impossible

We must be separated, Salwa

You must leave,
you must leave

I'am a human being

I'am a human being

- Salwa
- Please it is all over now

- At least let me give you a lift
- No, I know my way very well

If only you could
understand me, Salwa

It is too late now

At any case this is your
wish and I must encourage you

It is also your wish

This difficult moment
was coming sooner or later

I wish I'll be a
beautiful memory in your life

You'll never be just a memory

Memory comes
and goes every now and then

But not you

You'll always be in my mind
and my imagination

Those sweet features of yours

Your hair

Your eyes

Help me Sherif, Salwa

Salwa, Salwa

Salwa

Salwa

Leave me Sheirf,
I want to die I want to die

Leave me Sheirf, leave me

- Salwa don't be crazy
- Leave me Sherif

Salwa don't be crazy

leave me Sherif leave me Sherif

Leave me Sherif I want to die

I wonder why did Salwa do that?

I don't think she has any problems

What this girl have been through
can drive her to do more than this

In fact I had to tell you the truth
from the very beginning Sherif

This girl is not a relative of mine
and I am not her uncle

She is a poor girl,
she suffered a lot in her life

Her family died in Port Sayeed
and that is why I sympathized with her

So she won't live in the streets

I think you have noticed
that I was so embarrassed

when you came to ask me to marry her

1 did not wish to see you getting involved with
her and then regret what you have done

I would like to tell you sir that
my admiration for Miss Salwa

was the out come of a true feeling
not because I thought she is...

At any case you had to know
those things and now you are free

Well sir 1 am...

I think the appointment
of Mr. Hussein Fekry is now...

And you must leave now if you are
going to pick him from the railway station

Are you feeling better now Salwa?

Thank God

I could not help it

All my is a series of miseries

A man once said my life
is but a series of miseries

so the other asked him
what about the size of your shoes?

If only you know
how beautiful your smile is

Then you'll never cry, not even once

Sometimes it is difficult
to live in such a world

Desperation is horrible horrible

How could you be desperate
while you yourself is hope?

I am hope

- Whose hope
- Yourself

And the hope of someone who is in
desperate need of happiness and fun

And who is that person?

The man who loves you so much

- Where are you going?
- I'll prepare my breakfast

- I'll prepare your breakfast
- No you just rest

I 'am fine

Can you really cook a dish
of beans and eggs like I do?

Frankly now I am used to
this delicious breakfast of yours

Oh I forgot to tell you
we are going to have a guest today

- Who?
- Mr. Hussein Fekry

- The musician?
- The composer

And by the way we won't be able
to tell him that you are my niece

Because he knows my family very well

So I agreed with Sherif that
we'll both say that you are a model

Have mercy

What is the story of this
young lady Ahmed man?

What story

Where is Dora's effect,
which was easily felt in all your paintings?

- Yes
- Yes what?

- Miss Salwa, the model
- Have mercy

You are so beautiful
you are so pretty

Mr. Hussein Fekry
the well-known composer

- You're so beautiful
- I am honored

- Oh my she is so nice, she is so sweet
- Sorry Salwa he is always like that

- How sweet
- It is nothing

Keep quiet now hello, hello sweetie

Where did I see
this pretty face before? Where?

You can hardy remember
what you have eaten yesterday

It is not important
come on sit down

Excuse me
because I have work to do

Have mercy, oh God

- Have mercy
- Come on man, behave

Let me go

This is impossible man

This young lady is a symphony
that is full of lovely melodies

And that is why you did not leave
this place ever since you came here

You don't even go to the city

- Oh you are imagining things
- Oh really come on Ahmed

- So there is nothing between you who
- No

Ahmed man

Do you take me for an idiot?
Or you want to deceive me

The features of this young lady
is clear as crystal in the painting

Tell me why did your remove
Dora's painting?

- The rope was torn
- Oh really, and don't you have another rope

Can't you find anything to fix the
painting and then put it back on the wall?

Ahmed man

Have mercy

Oh my what is this Sherif boy?

- Salwa
- Listen mister

This girl must not be called Salwa,
you must call her sweet Salwa

Pretty Salwa
you became a playboy mister

What is this?

And of course you are going to
say that you don't love her either

Please Mr. Hussein, don't scandalize me

What are saying?

Damn you both

what is going on boy?

How could any one see this beauty?
And not fall in love with her

Sugar sweet

Let me taste it

How can you ignore this beauty?

How can you resist loving this beauty?

You are both idiots

Come on, lunch is ready

- Hello sweetie
- Hello

Welcome, welcome

It is such a waste to see those delicate
hands cooking and preparing the table

Have mercy,
can I borrow her today?

Have mercy

Have mercy, have mercy

Listen man, when you exhibit a painting

You like the people to look
at it and say, It is a great painting

What about me, I am standing
right informant of this lovely young lady

- Have mercy
- And then?

Ahmed man

I think you are in love with her
you fell in love and you are jealous

- No
- So no here means that you don't love her

- No?

And of course Sherif would say no
as an answer to the same question

- I am talking about myself
- This is perfect

Then I can fall in love with her I
am already in love with her

Sweet Salwa

Ever since I saw your smile
and I heard you talk

I'lost my heart
and I fell in love with you

Sweet Salwa

Ever since I saw your smile
and I heard you talk

I'lost my heart
and I fell in love with you

Sweet Salwa,
sweet Salwa

Sweet Salwa,
sweet Salwa

When you tell me what is in your heart

Ill tell you what is in my heart

When you tell me that you love me

Ill tell you that I love you, too

You are a lovely young lady

I'll sing you a song

This is lovely

You are pretty

And you are gorgeous

Just like the beautiful melody

Just like the beautiful melody

Just the melody

Just like the melody

Just like the melody

Just like the melody

Now I am in love with you

And I hope that you'll love me, too

Now I am in love with you

And I hope that you'll love me, too

Salute Salwa

Salute her beautiful eyes

Enough Hussien enough

Listen I do not like that

And if only the television
was not coming here to shoot

I would have never came here

- Is the television coming here?
- Yes sweetie, and they be shooting

I'll ask them to include
you in their shooting, who knows?

You might be lucky and
you find yourself an actress

Come here Salwa

Salwa, without being
upset and without crying

Can we talk?

As you know
the television is coming here today

And you know that they must not find
a young lady like you staying with me

I can hide in any room
and you can close the door

No one will ever know that I am here

Salwa

All my life I have been keen
to preserve my reputation

What if some one found out
that I locked you in a room

This will complicate things even more

You must leave Salwa

What is wrong with you Salwa?

You just push the swing
and I'll teach you how to sing

Thank you but I have a horrible voice

Oh no, It does not need
a beautiful voice, it depends on manners

Sherif, Sherif
please leave us alone now

- What's wrong Ahmad
- Listen Hussein

- Yes
- I need a favor from you

Go to those people
who are coming to shoot today

And tell them to postpone
our date for at least two weeks

Impossible

For seven good reasons Ahmed

Second because you have agreed with the
television on this date nearly a month ago

Fourth because now I am busy

Seventh or first and these are
the most important reasons

This lovely girl is mine
I'll fall in love with her

- Shut up man and try to behave
- Oh leave me alone, excuse me

Come on man, come on

Well then if you don't mind
I want to say goodbye to her

She is busy, she is tired

Come on
don't stand in my way man

- Hussein, come on go now
- You are a real headache

Salute Salwa

Are you angry from me?

You pretended to be in love with me when
you knew that the professor is my uncle

and after you found out that he is not
my uncle you no longer care about me

I swear sweetie that
I still love you secretly

But you did not encourage me
or even give me any hope

So I did not wish to impose take this aspirin

What do you say
if we changed your name?

Do you mind if we called you
Mrs. Sherif Youssef instead of Salwa?

- How are you Salwa?
- Thank God

- We have reached an agreement sir
- On what?

We are going to be engaged

Oh, it is a surprise

- Congratulations Sherif
- Thank you

- Congratulations Salwa
- Thank you

Why did I resist my feelings?

Why did I kill my happiness?

I'love her

And all her behavior
says that she loves me

Why am I resisting?

Because of my age and my wisdom?

I am deceiving myself

I am wrong

I am the one who is wrong

I accepted this engagement

I love the professor

He is the only one who can protect me

And who can make me feel safe

The difference in our ages

Love has nothing
to do with those differences

Besides she did not care about this point

Why should I care then? I must go to her

I must go to him
I must tell him how I feel

Why are you wasting
those lovely days of my life?

Here I am and I am in love with you

Impossible

What would people say?

Think about our happiness together

- Why are you crying?
- Nothing

You are not happy because
of your engagement to Sherif?

Why shouldn't I be happy?

So have you forgotten
your first love to the professor?

The school professor?

- Bad memories help us forget
- Bad memories!

- Painful ones
- If only you can understand me Salwa

Enough

Have mercy stop torturing me

You are wrong Salwa

You are he last person
I wish to hurt or torture

I wish you all happiness

Good night

Ahmed, Ahmed

Ahmed

Well son at least we should know who
is her family and are they good or bad

Well mother
she is an orphan

She has no family

Don't be so shocked

She is a great girl
and you'll like her

So aren't we going to see her son?

I'll bring her here so you
can see her and when you see her

you'll give us your blessings

Pray for me mother

Where are you going?

Salwa

Salwa

Salwa

Sherif

I'am so sorry sir I know it is late but...

What is wrong?

Actually I forgot my keys

So I thought
that might be Salwa found them

- Have you seen my keys Salwa?
- Your keys?

I am sorry
I am sorry sir

Excuse me, good night

Bisco, Bisco

Bisco

My darling

I don't know did
I pity you or did I pity myself

From the moment
when we both have to be separated

and each goes his own way my darling

Yes, this is my story
and this is my photo

And this name is mine

What about Salwa?

This is the name of reality

Do you know that you
have done a great mistake?

I could not help it

You were wrong not
because of what you have done

But because you ran away

I could not do anything else

Oh no, the man is in the hospital

You should have waited and faced
the police And tell them what happened

I was afraid

At any case don't be afraid Salwa

You still call me Salwa

I forgot your real name
which is written in the papers

1 only know on thing that you
are Salwa the woman I love

So you did not change your mind?

Salwa

What is important now is finding
a solution to this problem

You can depend on me
I'll see to it myself

And when the professor ask about me

The professor left

- When did he leave?
- This morning

- Didn't he say when would he be back?
- No

He must have an errand to run in Cairo
he'll finish his work and he'll be here

Why don't you come
to stay with my mother?

- You can not stay here alone
- Thank you Sherif

As you wish

Yes uncle

Please could you make
us some coffee Salwa?

Salwa

This is Olfat not Salwa

Sure uncle

I know how do you feel Ahmed

Although you are trying to deny
everything and hide your feelings

I can no longer deny
I can not forget her either

Not even for a single moment

- You should have behaved otherwise
- She is as old as my niece Olfat

- It is impossible Hussein
- You are an artist Ahmed

And artists usually need feelings and love

They need to revive their emotions
so they can create and invent

The most beautiful thing in the world of art

Yes, but...

No buts

If you don't
want to love her for your ownsake

Love her for the sake of your art

And what is the end of this love Hussein?

The one who is in love
never asks this question

He must take the best of this feeling

And live and enjoy every
single moment of his love

He hardly knows or cares what
would happen the next second

Ahmad

I am miserable Ahmed I really am

Impossible, you can never by miserable

While you are giving me all
the happiness in the whole world

Then why did you leave me alone travel?

I am afraid least I might hurt you

What are you afraid of?

There is a bitter reality, which wakes me
from the best dream I have ever had

The difference in age between us

You are wrong Ahmed

I never noticed or thought
about this difference

Salwa

Yes Metwali

So are they going
to arrest her?

Then listen,
bring the girl and come here quickly

Who is she?

She is a servant
who is accused of stealing a bracelet

And how are you today?

What about the news of the girl
who hit the man with the umbrella stick?

Oh my, her case became
even more complicated

We have just learnt that the man is dead

Now she is accused of murder

- Oh my God...
- Why are you shocked?

Well because I have a feeling
this girl is innocent

Innocent! Your are so naive and idiot

If she was really innocent

She would have never been
able to hide till today

What if you found her
in some one's house?

- He'll go to jail with her
- But why?

Because he is hiding
a criminal in his house

What if he does not know
that she is a criminal

Oh really

What about her photos that
were published in the papers

He still does not know that
she is a murderer?

She must be hiding in the chalet
of a lonely man or something

The girl is pretty

- Thank God for your safe return sir
- Thank you

- Where is Salwa?
- She is upstairs, Sherif

I want to talk with you about
something very important

I am at your disposal sir

Sherif

I want to tell you a story
and I want to know your judgment

And I'll accept it no matter what

Forget that I am your professor
and that you are my student

I want you to consider me a human
being, a man talking to another man

- What is this all about sir?
- Salwa

OK.

You know that I love you,
you also know that I wish to see you happy

But at the same time I am
tired Sherif I have been tortured

I have been resisting
But unfortunately I failed in the end

I found myself resisting
something I am not equal to

maybe what I am doing is foolishness

Each age has its foolishness
even the age of aturity and wisdomm

I'am a human being
who is running away from life

And when you run away from life
you become more attached to life

You become more
attached to every thing in it

You become attached to all the
chances of happiness you meet

But you Sherif,
you are in the prime of your youth

You still have all your life ahead
of you but my life is now behind me

I don't want you to hate or curse me Sherif

Me? But why should I hate you sir?

I love Salwa
and we are going to be married

- What you are saying is impossible sir
- Please, try to understand me

Well is you consider it a discussion
between two human beings

Not just a conversation between
a teacher and his student

Then let me be honest with you

What you are talking about is not love sir

What do you call it then?

You choose the name you like but not love

- You are so cruel to me Sherif
- But I am not selfish sir

I can't deny that I am selfish

Love is magnificent

And one of the worst things
about love is being selfish

You have the right to be angry

And I'll forgive you for being envious

I can never envy me teacher

You are the last one I can hate

But you are wrong

You are wrong, wrong sir

Sherif

- Congratulations
- Let me explain things to you

I understand everything
your heart is like copper

It gets warm so quickly
and then it turns cold also so quickly

- Didn't you study this theory in school?
- Sherif, Don't be cruel

I came here today to tell you
that the man you hit died

And be sure that
the police will soon find you

And you'll be the cause of the
worst scandal for the professor

Why are you absent-minded?

It is nothing, really

Do you know that sitting with you?

Gives me the impression that
my life is passing so fast?

Is that so?

Because when I am with
you time passes so quickly

And this time is part of my life

Ahmed

Tell me that you love me
I like to hear this word from you

But when we are with other people
I won't be able to call you my darling

- I'll tell you something else
- What?

I'l hold your hand
and look you in the eyes

And say...

- What?
- How are you?

What is this nonsense?
What a strange question?

This word carries the letters
of many other romantic words

It also have many meanings

Then tell me what does the first letter mean

It means I miss you

- And the second
- It means I am longing to be with you

- And the third letter
- It means I wish

- And the fourth letter
- It means I wish we were alone

Oh my then this question does
have a lovely meaning after all

Say it to me once again

You first

- How are you?
- I am fine thank you

Come on,
shame on you

Now go and get dresses we'll go out
to dinner to celebrate our engagement

There is no need
we'd better stay here

Why don't you want to go out with me?

Then there must be a reason

On no, nothing, I'll go out why not?

I'll go and get dressed for the occasion

- What is this?
- This is a signal to make us stop

- No, no, don't stop
- Impossible

- Good evening
- Good evening

Oh, mr. Ahmed Khaled

- Hello sir, welcome
- Thank you

- I am so sorry your may go
- Is there anything wrong?

I was waiting for car
to give me a lift to Alexandria

Why not, get in the car

Excuse me, madam

Oh my,
I forget to turn the stove off

Can we go back so I can turn off?

OK. I am sorry

Itis O.K.
you can go sir

You are right We'll enjoy
our time more when we are alone

What is it?

- It is the police
- And they are coming here

What are you afraid of my dear?

I feel scared whenever I hear the Syrians

They area coming here

Sherif did it
Sherif did it

- Good evening sir
- Good evening sir

We had a signal from Cairo
from the house of culture It is for you sir

They asked us to sent it to you because
they did not know your address here

- Thank you so much sir
- Don't mention

Goodbye

Salwa

What is wrong with you my love?

- I must tell you everything
- Tell me what?

- 1 don't have enough courage
- What is wrong Salwa?

Salwa, you have lied to me many times

Tell me that what you have
just said is also a lie?

It is the truth
and the man is dead

Impossible,
this could never be the truth

I wish I had committed this crime

I wish you had confessed to me

You made me live in a beautiful dream

You should have kept lying to me

Now you are everything in my life

1 am so sorry Ahmed

You have been the most beautiful
deceit in the whole world

You have been the most
beautiful deceit in the whole world

What did the defendant llham
Abdel Aziz do to the victim?

The victim was her stepfather
and this is the tragedy

Her stepfather resorted to deceit when
he had evil intentions towards her

He told her that they are going
to Alexandria to visit some friends

And when they were alone in
a deserted Chalet in El Agami

She discovered his real
intentions, she tried to resist

She tried to run away from this dirty place

But she failed and she could
do nothing to defend herself

except using the stick
to hit the man on his head

The reasons of this crime do not exist

and the defendant had no motive to kill her
stepfather unless he really tried to rape her

Let us suppose that she is lying

Then why did she try to kill him?

Although he is he only family and her
supporter after her mother died

And what would she gain if she killed him?

Without him she would
have no one to support her

And she would have no place
to go and she would become a tramp

Then we have to believe her

He took advantage
of her need in an evil way

He looked to her beauty and her youth

And he is the old man who was
chosen by destiny to take care of her

He forgot that he is an old man

He forgot his wisdom and sensibility

He forgot all ethics and principles because
of his mad desire to achieve his evil goals

And deceive a naive young
girl who is nearly a child

And who is old enough
to be his grand daughter

The defendant said in her testimony that the
criminal used to come to her room at night

with different excuses

And I say the criminal because
he is the one who should be punished

and not this poor girl

If the criminal was a young man

We would have given him some excuses

Because it is well known
that youth are irrational

But the man here is so old

And instead of repenting to God

And instead of trying to make up for
his sins while he was still a young man

And instead of looking for
a young man for this poor girl

He tried to destroy her life forever

He tried to end her life
in a moment of weakness

He tried to rape her because
he was so selfish and evil

My client is in the prime of her days
she is in the age of innocence and purity

And this can be seen
in the testimony of her teachers

And since my client

As we have said and proved with
solid evidence was defending herself

Then I ask the court to clear her

Congratulation sir

Sherif

I wanted to tell you that I was wrong

Stay beside Salwa

Don't leave her alone

Yes sir, but I have
noticed that she still loves you

She is also wrong

She was looking for safety
and security and love

And you can give her all these things

Take care of her

Ahmed, Ahmed...
