Abdel, a local tour guide married with 2 kids, will do anything to find a well-to-do foreign woman to secure his future. In the primitive part of the touristic city of Luxor, locals try to escape poverty by marrying older, foreign women. Abdel, like many others, connects with women online to entice them to move to Luxor. A 79-year-old Serana feels she was given a new shot at life at 50 and can now relive her youth. She is married to Hamdy, 30 years her junior. Madly in love with him, all she wants to do is spend time with him and enjoy life. In her eyes, he is not like the other gold-digging Egyptian men. Certainly not like Khaled, who married her friend Maria (79), before finding a much younger 2nd Egyptian wife to provide him with children. Through confessional meetings with these two women and a man, we get a rare and honest insight into these relationships - mutual arrangements of a sort, that blurs the boundaries between business and romance.
