A musical which follows the life of NAHED'S family. Nahed is a single mother, whose husband left her long ago for another woman to face life alone and to struggle with her three children. But Nahed has a dream : a dream to move to another level and to be rich. She pushes her youngest beautiful daughter to become a new singer and video clip star. With the help of a famous impresario, the young daughter makes it big in the new glamorous world of music and show business. But as Nahed's dream becomes a reality and the family moves into higher society, this fame, money and property, brings jealousy in- fighting and tension between the family members. The film exposes the double standards and the current desire for instant fame and wealth in contemporary Egyptian society whatever the cost. The idea is Loosely Based upon on the Ballet (Die Sieben Todsüden der Kleinbürger / The Deadly Seven Sins, 1933) by the German writer Bertolt Brecht.The film was described by Egyptian critiques at cairo film festival as the most unusual and unique Egyptian musical film since 40 years.
