  The third chapter in the Alexandria trilogy. Taking a stand for democracy, the entire Egyptian film industry goes on a hunger strike. Yehia, now a film director, joins the strikers. As demand follows demand, Yehia daydreams about Amr who is Mohsen Mohidine in real life, the young actor he loves and whose career he has launched and so attach to him with the strongest faith to make him the best actor that ever lived. But then he meets the beautiful Nadia and gradually falls in love with her. After the strike ends, Yehia decides to make a movie with Nadia.

. Dalida's last film before passing away, a great achievement. The greatest concept about the film is that love doesnt know age difference, and dreaming is a beautiful thing if you can't live it.
