About The Woman and the Law
The young woman, the young lawyer, is sacrificed to the mother, who works as a nurse in a hospital with her health and youth in order to devote herself to raising her only daughter. She hopes to become a doctor. The teacher is the owner of the house where the mother lives and her daughter looks forward to marrying the daughter.
Directed by Nadia Hamza, The Woman and the Law leans on a strong ensemble — Sherihan, Magda El Khatib, Farouq Al Fishawy — 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 1988.
