Overview

Thumma Tushriqu Al-Shams (Then the Sun Rises) is an Egyptian dramatic romance revolving around two brothers tied by family and complicated by love. Both are in love with the daughters of their wealthy uncle — Faiza and the deaf Wafiya — but fortune turns when the family patriarch loses everything, plunging them into poverty. As Hamed travels abroad to pursue his doctorate, his brother Rushdi is left behind, drawn into a morally fraught relationship with Suhair, Wafiya's nurse. What begins as an apparently sinful entanglement becomes a test of character, as Rushdi must ultimately confront his choices and reclaim his integrity. The film is a thoughtful melodrama exploring temptation, human frailty, and the capacity for redemption amid financial ruin and emotional vulnerability.
