Synopsis

Al-Aseel Mahrous decides to marry his neighbor Zaynab despite his mother's objection to her because she is divorced and permanent. She is harassed by her husband, who harasses her on the day of her marriage to Mahrous, who kills him in self-defense, and enters prison for three years. What he discovers is that he tries to exploit her as a woman to complete his deals, and resort to Mahrous after his release from prison to help her get rid of him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
