Raghba Motawahesha

Savage Desire (1991)

Nahid leaves Cairo to escape the scandal of her husband, who is imprisoned on charges of espionage. She moves to reside in her husband’s remote house in a desert area with her teenage daughter, Wafa, and her widowed sister-in-law, Samiha. They raise goats. The young man, Sayed Ghazal, knocks on the door of the three of them and tells them that he has just come out of prison and that he was a colleague of the head of the family in One prison cell, which was revealed to him before his death about the existence of a treasure of dollars that he buried near the desert so that he could stay with them, but in the barn after they agreed to search for the treasure and share it, Sayed Ghazal attracts Samiha, Nahid, and Wafa because of their thirst for a man in the desert who establishes a mutual relationship between both Nahid and Samiha, while Wafa fails. Convinced by her, Sayed begins digging for the treasure deep underground, between the push and pull of the three women. After Wafaa becomes certain of Sayed’s relationship with her aunt Samiha, she seeks instinctive revenge by claiming that he tried to rape her. She blames her for it, so Nahid fatally hits him on the head at the same time that Samiha finds the buried money. But she collapses because he died next to him. Inside the hole, Wafaa tells her mother that she lied to her to take revenge on Sayed and that he did not try to rape her. Nahid tearfully regrets her crime and decides to leave the place with her only daughter. *From the Encyclopedia
