When Sharaf is sent to prison for killing a man in self-defense, he is abruptly torn from his dreams of wealth and consumption.

The microcosm of the prison reflects the complex situation of Arab society which suffers from dictatorship and poverty, dependent on an unjust global economic system. Sharaf decides to achieve his own social advancement behind bars. But he has to pay a very high price.
