Description
Summary :In the late 1940s, at the Automobile Club in Cairo, the Egypt of pashas and monarchs flirts with aristocrats and diplomats. Regularly, His Majesty the King honors with his eminent presence the poker table. We discover the last shocks of pre-Nasserite Egypt: the morgue of the dominant classes, the destitution of the underprivileged, the awakening of nationalist sentiment. On all sides the edifice is cracking, and in this microcosm, the future times and the revolutionary explosion that will set the country ablaze simmer.
