Sawsan Badr plays Mohamad, a teenager teetering on the brink. On the one hand, he is a naive and sexually curious young man, intrigued by nearly every woman he meets-including his mother. On the other, he is a budding Islamic Fundamentalist, and the notion of sex is impure, particularly if it involves his mother. This is the essential personal conflict that drives the film. Which side will win the war for his mind-the liberal and exploratory side or the conservative and punitive side? (Summary by jeff_v)

It's a promising effort-Hetata has a knack for exploding a social problem onscreen to powerful effect. He constructs his film like a time bomb, and the often humorous action never completely conceals the feeling of impending detonation. The laughs are uneasy, because though the situations are comical, the anger in the protagonist's eyes is real.
