SYNOPSIS
The action takes place in present day Cairo. It is about Hebba, a television speaker who presents a successful political talk show on a privately owned network. Karim, her husband, is deputy editor in chief of a government owned newspaper. His ambition is to become editor in chief. He is led to believe, by the Party big shots, that his wife’s constant meddling with opposition politics could put his promotion in danger. Using his boyish charm and sexual prowess, Karim convinces Hebba to stay away from politics, and to devote her program to social issues for which the government cannot be held responsible. She starts a series of talk shows around issues involving women. She listens to the stories of resilient, strong women, who, like Scheherazade in A Thousand and One Nights, tell their stories to stay alive.
