Synopsis
Nancy (Naima Akef), an orphan girl, works to support her six siblings. She has nobody to turn to in this except for her neighbor, the singer Abdel Haq (Abdel Aziz Mahmoud), who invites her into his troupe as a dancer and loves her unrequitedly. She gets to know Abdel Haq's uncle Maarouf (Hussein Riad), who lives in a palace like a prisoner of his daughter-in-law Qassem, who seeks to inherit his fortune after his death. Maarouf showers Nancy with gifts via his grandson who loves her, leading to misunderstandings and jealousy of him by Abdel Haq. The neighborhood convinces him to leave her be, so he travels to Alexandria to separate. Nancy ends up with him in the end, putting love over money. Songs
