كدبة كل يوم

Hesham (Amr Youssef) works at an advertising agency alongside Hadia (Dorra Zarrouk). Their colleague Sheri (Abeer El Hariry) invites them to spend Sham El-Nessim in Marsa Alam, where her mother, Sherihan (Shereen Reda), owns a tourist resort, and where Sheri is set to marry her sweetheart, Seif (Karim Kassem), during the holiday. Hadia is married to Adel (Mohamed Mamdouh), who loves her deeply; she married him only due to pressure from her family insisting she get wed. Hadia is more liberal and freewheeling than Adel, whose kindness makes him lenient toward his wife, giving in to her desire to go to Marsa Alam instead of visiting his mother in Alexandria. Hesham, meanwhile, married Aisha (Dina El Sherbiny) for love. His wife seeks romance and wants Hesham all to herself, focusing solely on her, as she is jealous and demands that he change his ways, whereas Hesham believes mere differences in disposition between spouses are sufficient to make a marriage thrive. Both claim to be happy, yet they quarrel daily over the pettiest matters. Madame Sherihan disapproves of her free-spirited, foreign-raised daughter marrying Seif, who comes from a lower social class, an opinion shared by Sheri's father and her mother's ex-husband, Sami (Tarek El Telmissany). To help torpedo the marriage, Sherihan invites her other ex-husbands: Captain Ezz El-Din Aybak (Farouk El-Fishawy), an irresponsible bohemian, and Ezzat El-Fayoumi (Bayoumi Fouad), a womanizer and author of the book "How to Cheat on Her and Keep Her Happy." She suggests that Adel and Hesham accompany Seif on a fishing trip while she spends time alone with their wives. During the trip, the two husbands paint a grim picture of marriage for Seif, telling him he will never satisfy his wife, that she will seek to control him, will never appreciate anything he does, and that even intimacy will happen solely on her terms—turning into a chore where he is blamed if he performs and blamed if he neglects it. The plan succeeds, and Seif begins having second thoughts, especially since his mother, Hoda (Salwa Othman), also believes Sheri is wrong for him, prompting her to endorse Adel and Hesham's views. However, Sherihan discovers the depth of her daughter Sheri's love for Seif, relents, and blesses the marriage. Meanwhile, Hadia sits alone on the beach, where Seif's friend Karim (Amr Saleh) joins her. They smoke a hashish joint together, and under the influence of the drug, she listens to Karim's flattery regarding her attractive legs. She rushes to her husband Adel to incite his jealousy, announcing before everyone what Karim said about her legs and claiming she let him kiss her. Stunned, Adel explodes in fury, confronting her with her selfishness and desire to take everything while offering nothing in return; refusing to accept her apologies and retractions, he divorces her. Meanwhile, Aisha tries to salvage her marriage to Hesham by accepting his terms: refusing to change and embracing each other's traits, thanking God she was not divorced like Hadia. Hesham, on the other hand, watches with deep regret as Adel cavorts freely on the beach surrounded by beautiful young women. (A Daily Lie)
