About Maa Al Ayam
Afaf is a young doctor. Her surgeon husband dies, leaving her with two children, the eldest of whom is no more than five years old. Afaf devotes her life to her work and her two children only, until she meets the engineer Adel, who likes her and she reciprocates the same feelings. Will she give herself up to love and marriage or will she sacrifice herself for the sake of her children?
Directed by Ahmed Diaa Aldin, Maa Al Ayam leans on a strong ensemble — Magda Al Sabahi, Emad Hamdy, Olwiya Gamil — 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 drama titles of 1958.
