The events revolve around (Riyadh), who abandons his wife and their infant daughter (Nemat), who ends up in an orphanage after the death of her mother. When (Nemat) grows up and leaves the orphanage and marries (Mahmoud), the father sees her and falls in love with her without knowing that she is his daughter. The events unfold after he learns the truth and seeks to kidnap his grandson, (Nemat's) infant son.
