Plot

Houssam returns home to Cairo for New Year's Eve after a year's separation from his wife with a group of Americans prospecting business with an Egyptian entrepreneur. He has plans for a romantic night alone with his wife after a full year of treatment from impotence in the U.S.. His plans to to conceive a child are thwarted by several events, some of which are comedic episodes as they travel around Cairo looking for a room. The biggest threat is a terrorist plot to bomb the hotel at which he and the group of American in town for business are staying at.

Although the film takes place in one day, Houssam, Awadein, Sarah, Srg. Peter and others have flashbacks that link all of them together. The flashbacks include incidents during and after 9/11, depictions of Awadein being tortured in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and Rachel and Soraya in Ghaza and the Occupied Territories in Palestine.

As the film progresses, Awadein realizes that Srg. Peter was the prison warden at Abu Ghraib and that he is also staying at the hotel that he intends to bomb. Events reach their climax when Shoukry betrays Awadein upon realizing that the bombing of the hotel is a futile act that will only result in the murder of innocent people.
