Adel Emam portrays a university professor at Cairo University's Faculty of Agriculture. The opening episodes recount his revolutionary activism during his student years through his active participation in sit-ins and demonstrations that broke out across campus at the time. As events unfold, the professor falls in love with a woman played by Najwa Ibrahim and decides to marry her due to his deep devotion, but soon discovers he is infertile. He decides to divorce his wife so as not to deprive her of motherhood. Adel Emam then arranges for one of his friends to marry his ex-wife; the marriage takes place and bears children, whom the professor begins treating as his own, intervening to resolve their personal problems. The plot intensifies with the outbreak of the January 25 Revolution, which Adel Emam takes part in. When the Muslim Brotherhood subsequently assumes power, the professor vehemently opposes the group, only to be surprised by an offer to become Minister of Agriculture under their administration. After taking the ministerial portfolio, he is stunned by the arrival of a woman at his office, played by Liqaa Swidan. He recalls having visited her years earlier at a nightclub she owned on Al-Haram Street, where they shared an illicit night together. To his astonishment, she reveals that she conceived that very night and bore him a son. The professor furiously pushes back, knowing he is biologically infertile; however, the sensitivity of his high-ranking post makes him terrified of a scandal, especially with factional leaders within the Brotherhood covertly plotting against him. He decides to stall until the issue can be settled privately. Befuddled by the woman and her son, he sees no way out but to take a DNA test to determine whether he is indeed the father. The test surprisingly confirms his paternity, and he decides to acknowledge his son, resigning from the ministry just before the Brotherhood is ousted from power.
