Synopsis
Drama, based on the novel by Alaa Al Aswany and set in the early 1990s, which offers a scathing portrayal of modern Egyptian society since the coup d'etat of 1952. Cairo's iconic Yacoubian building is a block of flats that has seen better days but still houses a diverse cast of characters.
