من ضهر راجل

Adham (Mahmoud Hemida) refused to work as an office boy for a meager salary, preferring thuggery instead, which angered his wife (Rania Youssef), who asked him to return to the straight and narrow after discovering she was pregnant. But he refused and walked out on her. When she gave birth alone, she bled to death. Adham, who had become involved in a murder, took the newborn, named him Rahim, and fled to Cairo. He worked various odd jobs and abandoned thuggery to raise his son. Rahim (Asser Yassin) grew up, and their neighbor, boxing coach Nasser Othman (Mohamed Lotfy), discovered Rahim's aptitude for boxing, training him alongside his son, Taha (Sherif Ramzy). Nasser paid more attention to Rahim, which sowed hatred in Taha's heart toward Rahim. That hatred deepened because Taha had been in love with their neighbor Mai (Yasmine Raeis) since childhood; once Rahim entered her life, she fell in love with him and left Taha. To make matters worse, after studying Islamic jurisprudence, Taha found that the mosque's imam was now Uncle Adham, so he came to hate everyone and plotted against Rahim and Adham. He informed thug Henesh (Walid Fawaz), Mai’s brother, about her relationship with Rahim. Henesh assaulted Adham, prompting an enraged Rahim to rush to his father's defense and beat Henesh in front of everyone. Henesh worked for Officer Alaa (Sabry Fawaz), extorting drug dealers and executing the officer's every command. Alaa wanted to bring Rahim under his control, but Rahim refused to work as an informant. Consequently, Alaa arrested Adham, exposed his criminal record, shamed him in front of his son Rahim, and revealed how Rahim's mother had died. The relationship between Adham and his son became strained. Rahim tried to find work in several places, but was fired everywhere on Alaa's orders. Henesh offered Rahim a deal: cooperate in exchange for his father's release, dropping the charges, handing over his criminal record, and marrying Mai. Rahim accepted working as a thug to save his father. Disapproving of his son's conduct, Adham left home to live with Henesh and his gang. Taha informed Mai of Rahim's new line of work, leading her to refuse marrying Rahim and accept marrying Taha instead. On their wedding night, she allowed him to confirm her virginity, but then refused to share a bed with him. Fights broke out between them, and Rahim learned of their strained relationship and realized she still loved him. He tried to make advances toward her, but when she rebuffed him, he raped her, and she became pregnant out of wedlock. She tried to induce an abortion but failed. When Taha learned of her pregnancy, he assumed the child was his; he confessed to Rahim the hardships he had caused him and asked for forgiveness for the sake of his unborn child, but Rahim told him the fetus was actually his. Mai demanded a divorce, which Taha refused. Rahim sought to return to the right path to win Mai back, and he refused further cooperation with the officer after the convictions against his father expired, threatening to expose Alaa's misconduct to Alaa's son, Ayman (Youssef Othman). Rahim returned to boxing and won, but Officer Alaa incited Henesh to take revenge on Rahim. A fight broke out among them, and Taha seized the opportunity to plunge his knife into the heart of his rival, Rahim. In response, Adham kidnapped Officer Alaa's son, Ayman, and exposed his father's corrupt behavior before him. Nasser handed Adham's file over to the police, and Officer Alaa was arrested and imprisoned. (Men Dahr Ragel)
