“the Circus”
One of the traveling circus troupes in the Egyptian villages suffers from many problems due to the small number of spectators and its failure to keep up with the times. The son of the troupe owner, who has finished his studies, comes and tries to develop the troupe, canceling some shows and adding others. He faces opposition from the old members, but he succeeds with the help of all of them.
