Synopsis

edit

The film's protagonist, Nadia (Badriya Raafat), falls in love with Ezzat (Mohsen Sarhan) against the wishes of her father Hassanein Mahmoud el-Meliguy), and the couple secretly marry, but Ezzat goes missing and is feared dead. Nadia falls into severe shock and is treated by Dr. Nabil (Emad Hamdy) and nurse Zahra (Zahrat El-Ola). Dr. Nabil falls in unrequited love with her, but she continues to cherish her late husband's memory. When Nadia discovers that she is pregnant, she travels with her aunt Zainab (Ferdoos Mohammed) and Zahra to give birth away from Hassanein and Dr. Nabil's watchful eyes. Nadia leaves her newborn Salwa to Zahra with a monthly salary to raise the child.

Four years later, Nadia travels with her father and aunt to Europe for her summer vacation, at which time Zahra and Salwa visit Dr. Nabil and the nurse's other hospital colleagues. Zahra discovers by chance that Ezzat has been treated for amnesia at the same hospital for the last four years. Nadia and her father and aunt return to the shocking news of Zahra's death and only learn of Salwa's fate when the aunt finds out that Dr. Nabil intends to place the girl in an orphanage the next morning. Nadia sneaks into the hospital at night to retrieve Salwa but is caught by a nurse and compelled to confess to Dr. Nabil in the morning. After agreeing to marry Dr. Nabil based on his promises to take good care of Salwa, Nadia sees her daughter playing in the hospital's garden with Ezzat, who sees a large wooden bar about to fall on Salwa's head all of a sudden. Ezzat takes the blow to protect his daughter, and the impact restores his memory such that all live happily ever after.
