A mother in Alexandria can't afford her son's dialysis. She begs in Cairo, but returns to find him dead. She then begs there regularly to support her daughters Shoq and Awatef.
In Alexandria, Fatmah learns that her youngest son needs weekly dialysis, which requires 300 pounds. She does not have enough money for that. She travels to Cairo to beg far from her home city. After she collects enough money, she returns to discover the son's death. She decides to protect her two daughters, Shoq and Awatef, from poverty, so she returns to Cairo, continuing to beg.—Anonymous
