Hassan El Sayed Ali (Mohamed Farrag) is an impoverished diploma holder working as a security guard at a parking garage. He lives with his mother (Hanan Youssef), who works as a domestic cleaner. In love with his neighbor Basma (Passant Shawky), he fails to marry her due to his lack of means, spending his time smoking hashish with his two friends: Saeed (Taha Desouky), a delivery worker at a kebab restaurant, and Amr Eder (Amgad El Hagar), an internet café clerk. All three dream of fleeing the country. Hassan attempts to marry a seventy-year-old tourist to help him leave Egypt, but she passes away. He and his friend Amr Eder then turn to a human smuggler named El Dow (Yasser El Zankalouni) to smuggle them out on an illegal boat, but the perils of the sea, the risk of deportation, and the smuggler's exorbitant fee force them to abandon the plan. Meanwhile, Captain Adel (Bayoumi Fouad), an elementary school physical education teacher living with his civil servant wife (Lobna Wanes)—who constantly berates him for not taking a second job—cares for his disabled son Amr (Selim Tork). When his wife informs him that the Ihsan Club for People with Disabilities needs a blind football coach, he applies to the club's director, Dr. Raouf (Mohamed Abd El Azim), who hires him. Hassan learns about the Ihsan Club and its preparations for a final qualifier in Kenya that would grant them entry into the World Cup in Poland. He fakes blindness, trains in blind football, and is accepted onto the team, getting to know the rest of the squad: team captain Farag (Mohamed Maghrabi), the most eager to win; Hany (Mohamed Saadaoui); Hesham (Hany El Tabaei); Ihab (Amir Agamy); and Tamer (Ibrahim Helmy), the team's sighted goalkeeper. Engy (Nelly Karim), a journalist and writer who has grown bored with her usual assignments, is guided by her editor-in-chief (Khaled Mahrous) to the blind football team preparing for the final match. She meets the players and becomes an ardent supporter, taking a special interest in the new recruit, Hassan. She follows their performance up to their victory in Kenya—largely credited to Hassan—and their qualification for Poland, deciding to accompany them on their European tour. Captain Adel discovers that Hassan can see and threatens to expose him, but Hassan tempts him with the promise of helping the team win the championship trophy in Europe in exchange for letting him slip away and defect once they arrive. Adel agrees. However, when Adel notices that the sighted goalkeeper, Tamer, has begun to suspect Hassan can see, Hassan decides to get rid of Tamer and bring in his two friends: Saeed as a blind player and Eder as the sighted goalkeeper. Eder deliberately hits Tamer with a motorcycle, breaking his leg. The situation worsens when the club director, Dr. Raouf, catches wind of the scheme, reveals that he knows they can see, and demands 50,000 pounds from each of them in exchange for traveling with the team. Saeed suggests robbing the owner of the kebab shop, Haj Tarek (Haggag Abdulazim), on Thursday night when revenues peak. They intercept his car, steal the earnings, outsmart Dr. Raouf by handing him only 70,000 pounds, and secretly photograph him with a mobile phone while taking the money—with Captain Adel capturing the photos. They blackmail him with exposure, forcing him to comply. Engy travels with the squad, feeling deep sympathy for Hassan and his mother, and feelings begin to blossom between her and Hassan. However, upon discovering that he can see, she distances herself from him. Hassan attempts to justify his actions after developing feelings for her, but his efforts fail. Meanwhile, Hassan's mother tries to keep him from traveling by stealing a diamond ring from her employer to give him the money to stay in Egypt, but she is caught and severely beaten by her employers. The team travels to Poland and plans to defect after the match out of respect for their teammate Farag, who has pinned all his hopes on winning the cup and has brought along his wife, Hanan (Gehad Hossam). However, they discover that Farag and his wife have already fled before the matches begin, realizing that he, too, was sighted. Noticing police circling the premises, the rest of the group flees. Hassan heads to Germany and works advertising aphrodisiacs; Saeed works as a window cleaner in Italy; Eder works as a masseur; Captain Adel becomes a café waiter; Hany washes dishes; Hesham cleans swimming pools; and Hanan works as a dancer accompanied by Farag on the drums. It turns into a massive public scandal, yet none of the fugitives are ever arrested. (Voy! Voy! Voy!)
