The movie's story
The events revolve around Abd al-Tawab, a perfumer known for piety, who has three
sons and one daughter.
While he travelled to Alexandria to agree on a drug deal in which he pays his
fortune, he died in an accident.
Everyone is faced with a difficult choice between completing the deal and getting
the money, or rejecting the deal in the first place and losing the inheritance.
Motivation behind the story
The film shows the hidden aspects in the depths of human beings.
The doctor appears in the image of the deranged patient, and the lawman
appears in the image of the mercenary of the forbidden, and from the pious and
upright father who works in the field of medicinal herbs and perfumers comes
the drug dealer boy.
The events of the film revolve around complex struggles between the characters
of the story with each other and their internal conflicts in a tight cinematic plot.
Movie characters
Kamal “played by Noor Sharif”
This role is considered the focus of thinking, planning and implementation,
which is characterized by intelligence that reaches the point of malice.
He is skilled in planning, and is good at convincing those around him of what he
wants.
He also has a strength of character that qualifies him to lead a group of people
and treat each of them according to his nature.
Adel “played by Mahmoud Abdel Aziz”
Mahmoud Abdel Aziz has embodied the role of the cowardly brother who is
controlled by his emotions and feelings to the maximum degree.
He is not good at taking risks and is quick to shock and fears for himself a lot.
He tend to sacrifice without calculating its consequences well and knowing what
it will bring him, in addition to their quick emotion, which can result in many
disasters, which occur momentarily without realizing.
Shukri “played by Hussein Fahmy”
The serious personality, who always seeks perfection, always criticizes others,
but refuses to be slandered by anyone, even if it is true.
This was the character of the serious officer who does not give his
preoccupation to anything but his work, as he is the quest for perfection and
idealism.
He always distances himself from anything that brings him suspicious, devoid of
feelings and passion, knowing only laws and principles, as he is, so to speak, a
rocky mass of ice that is difficult to melt.
The ethical values of the community
The environment in which the characters of the film grew up is a
conservative and religious environment that is alienated from bad
moral qualities such as greed.
However, the characters are greedy and this is evident in their
pursuit of shady money and the end of their quest is to live in a
feeling of shame that will not go away from them.
The ethical dialectic in the movie
The movie - in a genius way - discusses an important
intellectual and ethical dialectic: the difference in standards
and contradictions in the human view of right and wrong,
and what he considers permissible and what he considers
forbidden.
Value Conflicts for each character
Thus, the self-made religious father who raises his children on good morals
appeared in the film - a corrupt man who works in the drug trade and destroys
thousands of young people and families with the promotion of drugs and ideas
that it is a halal trade.
Looking at the righteous son who did not complete his education at the
direction of his father in order to help him in his business, he is in fact the right
hand of his father in his underworld, the world of drug dealing.
As for his real behaviour, he is far from submissive and kind. In his underworld,
he is a domineering, hard-hearted drug dealer.
His son, the esteemed and feared officer, is in fact just a “mercenary”; Where he
seeks to earn from any source, and this makes sense to himself that by this he
will protect himself and his children from poverty. What is more, he goes to put
his suspicious actions in the formulation of legitimacy to decorate them with a
framework of lawful earning.
As for the son, the psychiatrist, he is in fact a mentally ill person who is in dire
need of quick treatment to keep him away from the behavioural disorder.
Conclusion
The father believed that his immunization of his children with science and good
morals would keep them away from his real, ruined world.
Consequently, all his children enjoyed a prestigious and socially respected
position. He had the son of an officer, the last of a psychiatrist, the daughter of a
lawyer, and even the son who did not complete his education and helps him in
his trade.
But the surprise, that haram money has also negatively affected everyone
