▲This is considered the most famous Egyptian movie of all time. It mainly talks about the decadence of [[Egypt]]ian [[society]] during the [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]] era.
It tells the story of a simple [[Egyptians|Egyptian]] worker (played by Imad Hamdy) who can't tolerate the hypocrisy of the [[Politics of Egypt|Egyptian]] government and the illiteracy of the [[Egyptians|Egyptian]] public and decides to hide from all the problems in the country by simply taking [[Shisha]], a popular smoking habit in [[Egypt]], to escape from reality.▼
Imad Hamdy (who used to work as a teacher) meets with an old student (actor Ahmed Ramzi) by chance. Ramzi invites him to the small boat in the [[Nile]]. And Imad discovers soon enough that he isn't the only person who smokes Shisha but a bunch of other [[Elite]] , [[middle class]] and [[low class]] people are all on the boat. ▼

The film was released during the era of [[Anwar Al Sadat]] the former President of [[Egypt]], winner of [[Nobel Peace Prize]] and was taken quickly from the market because the film was seen as a criticism of the [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]] [[socialism]] period, and the oppression of artistic films during [[Nasser]]'s time when it was forbidden to make any film unless the rich were clearly portrayed critically while the poor had to be shown sympathetically. [[Anwar al-Sadat]] didn't want to upset the [[Egyptians|Egyptian]] people, some of whom still loved and respected Nasser.▼
