About Ashiaa La Tushtra
The wealthy mayor falls in love with a beautiful, flirtatious young girl, marries her in Cairo and visits her weekly. Samira lives with her father, the mayor, and falls in love with her cousin, Youssef. The wife falls in love with Mahmoud, Samira's music teacher, who visits the house regularly and spends the mayor's money on him. After the mayor falls easy prey to bankruptcy, his cheating wife leaves him, and his daughter tries to save him and uncover the truth.
Directed by Ahmed Diaa Aldin, Ashiaa La Tushtra leans on a strong ensemble — Yehia Chahine, Shams El-Barudy, Nour El-Sherif — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1970.
