Cactus Flower is a story of survival through human solidarity. Dreams are a form of resistance, and the city, which charms and abuses, is as much a protagonist as the characters.

- Synopsis
- "Cactus Flower" is the story of Aida, a struggling theatre actress, her neighbour Samiha, a destitute and reclusive bourgeoise of fading beauty, and Yassin, a tormented, street-smart young man. All three are thrown together overnight after a flood leaves the two women homeless in Cairo, a city on the verge of collapse.
