In this masterpiece by the leading director of Egyptian realist cinema, a friendship develops between two men with contradictory world-views.

One, a water-bearer whose wife died twenty years earlier, spends his days remembering her and mourning her loss. The other, a mortician, spends his life in the pursuit of worldly pleasures because he believes that death will end all enjoyment. As their friendship develops, the water-carrier slowly sheds his morbid way of thinking and begins to enjoy the many things that life has to offer.
