The mother struggles to support her four children after the father's death, and faces a devastating economic crisis that relegates the family to the lowest floor of the same building. The eldest son, Hassan, is unemployed and becomes a singer and thug who accompanies belly dancers. Hassanein proposes to a girl from a wealthy family in pursuit of his social ambitions. Hussein moves to work in another governorate in an attempt to support his family. Nafisa works as a seamstress to help everyone, but her fate collapses into prostitution after being betrayed by her first love. Published in 1951, it is the first Mahfouz novel to be adapted into a film by director Salah Abu Seif in 1960.
