About

(Samia) is a married woman with one daughter named (Laila). One day, (Samia) discovers that she has cancer and is close to death. She tries to hide the matter from her husband and daughter all the time, but at the same time she tries to bring her husband (Ahmed) closer to (Elham), his colleague at work, so that she can reassure herself before her death. The matter actually succeeds, even if it makes (Samia) jealous. However, things turn upside down when the doctor discovers the diagnosis is wrong, and she learns that she is not sick.
