About Who is he in society?
Khamis and his brother Khalil poison their father to get rid of him, after he threatens to write his fortune to his new born son Hamada, who he had after marrying his maid Firdaws. Firdaws is accused of killing her husband because she brought him food without knowing about his sons' plot, while Khamis and Khalil get rid of their little brother by leaving him in the middle of Cairo's traffic to get lost. Hajj Younis finds the child and takes care of him, then he joins the music institute, and a love story develops between him and his colleague Souad.
Directed by Hassan Al-Imam, Who is he in society? leans on a strong ensemble — Mohamed Tharwat (Zeero), Mona Gabr, Huda Sultan — 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 1982.
