Synopsis
A rich trader has no choice but to sell his slave, who he’s madly in love with, when he loses everything. But destiny will help them meet again. Weddad, a romantic tale inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, was the biggest production of its time. This classical musical was diva Um Kalthoum’s debut, and the film’s success turned Misr Studios into the king of the Egyptian film business.
