Years after graduation, a group of college friends reunite at a wedding party, each pretending to have attained great social status. The only one truly at peace with himself is Karim Samir (Khaled Eleish), a young man of peasant origins who feels no shame about his background and worked hard after university to become the marketing director at an international hotel in Luxor. Karim drops a bombshell that turns everyone's world upside down: a phone call reveals to the group that the hotel is about to place newspaper ads seeking employees at attractive salaries. Reham Mahfouz (Amira Hany) claimed to come from an aristocratic family, spending her time between Europe and the United States, bragging that her mother regularly got foot massages in America. In reality, her father was a doorman and her mother (Badria Tolba) fried eggplants for a living, with Reham depending on hand-me-downs from the building's tenants. During college, she was taken under the wing of Rafaat Bey (Ehsan Turk), a childless man who treated her like a daughter and paid her tuition, which scared off potential suitors until her mother pressured her into getting engaged to her unemployed tile-layer cousin, Sayed Farkha (Ibram Samir), nicknamed after getting caught inside a chicken coop as a boy. Yasser El Rammah (Islam Gamal) claimed to be an ambassador's son and the chairman of an import-export firm, while in truth he was an out-of-towner in Cairo struggling to pay rent, resorting to scams and petty theft after failing to find a job. He was in love with Reham, but their mutual pretenses of belonging to high society stood in the way of marriage. Folla Aghakhan (Esraa Abdel Fattah) was genuinely from an aristocratic lineage, but the revolution had confiscated their property, plunging them into severe poverty; nevertheless, she and her mother (Hanaa El Shorbagy) clung to the past despite their dire financial straits. Folla was in love with Karim Samir, but deemed it impossible to marry a peasant, while her mother pushed her to marry within her class. Dina El Kammouni (Nada Rahmy), daughter of an ordinary spice merchant, claimed she expanded her father’s spice shop into a thriving chain exporting to India and Pakistan, and boasted of driving a Hummer—though she actually rode a cargo tricycle to accommodate her heavy build, as she had an insatiable appetite for food. Each friend heads secretly and individually to Luxor hoping to land a job at the luxury hotel. Karim quietly helps them get hired: Yasser joins the hotel security, Folla works at the reception desk, Reham joins room service, and Dina works in the kitchen. Each proves their worth in their chosen role. Meanwhile, Sayed Farkha follows his fiancée Reham to Luxor and ends up shoveling horse manure at the stables, just as the hotel prepares to host a festival for purebred Arabian horses. A foreign villain named Mr. Uh Uh (Hamdi El Sakhawy) exploits the situation to sterilize the Arabian horses, kidnapping Sayed Farkha and coercing him with poison-laced sugar to feed the horses. In exchange, Sayed demands that the foreigner kidnap Reham for him. However, the henchmen mistakenly abduct Dina using the hotel crane. The friends join forces with hotel management to rescue Dina, thwart the poisoning plot, and see the foreign syndicate arrested by the police. Through hard work, everyone's lives improve, their true backgrounds are revealed, and love triumphs: Folla accepts Karim's proposal, Reham settles on Yasser as her life partner, Dina finds love with the hotel's young singer El Zanati Louay (Hamed El Sharrab) who looks past her weight, and Sayed Farkha ends up with the eccentric Bernadette (Wafaa El Sayed).
