Al-Mal W'al-Banun, is a 1954 Egyptian movie, directed by Ibrahim Emara, and starring Thuraya Fakhry, Mahmoud El Meligy, Wedad Hamdy. with a runtime of 104 minutes.
Al-Mal Wal-Banun is an Egyptian drama that philosophically contrasts two friends whose opposing views on family shape their lives in unexpected ways. The first man, committed to limiting children, pressures his wife into taking medication to prevent further pregnancies, content with their only daughter. His friend, by contrast, embraces a large family. When the first man's only daughter tragically dies and a change in fortune makes him wealthy, his earlier certainties collapse — and he suddenly finds himself longing for the children he once refused. The film is a thoughtful meditation on legacy, regret, and the deeply human need for connection, asking what wealth means when there is no one to pass it on to.
