A mother (Aqila Ratib) took care of the family after her husband’s death. They consist of the eldest son, Ahmed Zuhdi (Shukri Sarhan), his younger brother Mamdouh (Ahmad Ramzi) and their sisters Laila (Faten Hamamah, Nabila (Laila Taher) and Fifi (Shereen). While the family is also supported by the uncle Khalid Ezzat (Abdul Khaliq Saleh), each one has a lifestyle: Ahmed is an official who is flattered by his boss and colleagues because of his uncle Khalid; Laila falls in love with the husband (Imad Hamdi), Nabila loves her colleague; Fifi refuses her femininity; and Mamdouh is a young man who aims to venture into private business…
