Loud, lively and funny social satire with a twist.

The social problems that beset 1970s Egyptian society are dealt with in this comedic, yet socially-aware story of a large boisterous family of ten children and their'aunt'. The aunt in question desperately wants to marry the man she loves. Her malicious brother-in-law, however, is having none of it - and seems prepared to go to any lengths to stop the couple getting wed.
