The series tells the story of Bakiza, who was surprised after the death of her rich elderly husband - Ashmawi - with Maji, his daughter, Zaghloul, who was raised in poverty away from her rich father. Ashmawi, the father of Zaghloul, tried at the end of his days to search for his daughter through advertisement in the newspapers, but the result is the arrival of his daughter Zaghloul late after his death to find his widow "Bakiza" - Suheir Al-Babyloni - arrogant and poor at the same time. The series is exposed to the paradoxes that result from the difference between the two characters and the way they deal with the difficulties they face after the death of Ashmawi, after discovering that he died penniless and that they share a legacy from which he remains after paying his debts except home.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
