Gaber convinces the young man that he can make him a millionaire during only 24 hours through trading in drugs. The two men have many exiting adventures. At the end they recognize that they have committed a lot of crimes. “The film is based on Naguib Mahfouz’s short story al Liqaa (the Meeting) which is one of a short stories group published in 1980 under the title al Shaitan Yaeth (the Devil Preaches),” Shaeb told the London-based daily al Hayat. He noted, “when I met Mahfouz to ask permision before changing the title and some events in the story, he didn’t remember the story.” The scenarist explained that “the story emphasizes that man chooses his own destiny.
