By Yusuf Idris
Cairo, January 1952. Hamza is a committed young radical struggling to end British occupation. Fawziya is a woman supporting the cause. And among the ashes of the city love may grow, but at a time of national struggle what place do personal feelings have beside the greater love for a shackled homeland? Yusuf Idris brings life to the soul of a national consciousness focused on liberation.
