The construction of the Aswan dam as seen by those who took part in it: engineers, workers, Egyptians, and Soviets.

Based on the novel by Egyptian writer Tawfiq al-Hakim, 1937, Diary of A Country Prosecutor records the daily activities and tribulations of a public official appointed to act as a village justice in the countryside.

The story of a broken up family in which the father and the oldest son live in Europe while the mother and the younger son live in Egypt. The older brother decides to travel back to Egypt to know his family better.
