The Story

Original title: الغريب

Hajj Kamel picks up a little boy from the street, whose family and relatives refused to shelter him after the death of his father and mother, and he takes him into his home, so he lives like his son next to his young daughter and son. The real son, Mahrez, grew up with an unknown enmity towards the poor boy, Ghareeb, while the little daughter, Yasmine, loved this boy. When the father dies, the poor boy takes over his work. He continues to take care of Yasmine until the rich young man, Anwar, enters her life.
