Midnight story (1964)
In a dramatic atmosphere, the film tells the story of a family whose members suffer greatly, as the head of the family, "Shaker", forces his daughter to marry the man he chose, even though she loves someone else. In addition, "Samiha", Shaker's wife, is sick and paralyzed. In his desire to improve the situation, Shaker asks for a new secretary to help his wife, and from here things become very complicated as "Ibtisam" is appointed to the job. Shaker begins to doubt everyone around him except Ibtisam, and refuses to take medicine from anyone except her, so the events take a new dramatic turn.
