Mademoiselle Coco.
No way, really?
Genius.
He's a genius.
I told you.
Hi.
Have all these women gone crazy?
I mean, they're actually forcing him to sniff them so he can guess what their perfume is.
Come on, let the mummies have some fun.
Take it from me, they're desperate for a little action.
For 13 years, the only time Hisham actually smelled me was when the oven blew up in my face and my eyebrows got burned.
That's what you get for getting married.
Hang on a second.
Can I get a recording of this?
Ola Abdessabour is actually criticizing marriage?
We need to celebrate.
Actually, while we're on the subject, don't you think it's about time?
It's time for what?
What do you mean?
I mean, your grieving period is over, so now that that's out of the way, and Selim, I mean, Selim is all better now.
Let's have fun.
What?
What did I say?
Shut up.
Are you trying to get me in trouble or what?
My daughter is right there.
What's wrong with what I said?
Do you think divorce in our society means equal freedom for both parties?
Hell no.
Divorce means freedom for men and solitary confinement for women.
If my mom heard you say that, she'd kill both of us.
Yes, speaking of which, where's our Golden Lady Collection superstar, and how did you get her to pose for this picture?
It's a nice picture, isn't it?
It is, but how did you convince her to do it?
The thing.
I didn't.
That's the problem.
She still doesn't know that we've created the whole campaign based on her picture.
Oh, God.
Do you actually think Sohair's not going to find out about this?
Jeez, Ola, I bet she's at home with a rope in one hand and a prison jumpsuit in the other, ready to kill you.
Told you.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not just solitary confinement.
It's a death sentence, too.
That's divorce.
Shalimar.
Wow, that's right, that's right, that's right.
Is that Omnia Aldelli?
Who's Omnia Aldelli?
How could you not know Omnia Aldelli?
No, no, no, no.
You don't get to be caller than I am, Montoso.
She's coming, she's coming.
Hi.
Excuse me, please.
Oh, God, there he goes again.
Un jardin sous les Niles, like yours.
Wow, really?
Yeah.
You're too young for that.
But as an expert in this field, allow me to say that this parfum that you're wearing is not the best fit for your natural pigments of your skin.
OK.
It's also incompatible with your star sign.
Wow, really?
Oh, my God, you've really done your homework, haven't you?
Bravo, bravo.
I'm a huge fan.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
I just don't watch TV that much.
So what exactly have you starred in?
What have you been in?
Hi, I'm Ameya.
Ameya El-Ghali.
Hi.
Influencer, fashion blogger, travel... Entrepreneur.
Yeah, I'm more into French.
My English is not that strong.
So you're the owners of Second Chance, right?
Yes, we are.
Well, congratulations.
You guys are becoming such a hot trend.
Really?
My mom started it.
Then we should definitely do an interview.
You will inspire so many of my two million followers.
What?
Did you say two million?
Sure, it would be an honor, really.
I mean, actually, I just recognize you now.
I've always been a big fan of yours.
Huge.
And I'm very familiar with your great channel and with the amazing content that you present.
Yes, wait, what is it?
Don't overdo it.
You didn't know she was like a minute ago.
Still, I know who she is now, and I really like her.
So maybe I should give you my number, you know, for the interview.
Give me, let me put my number in for you.
Yes, please.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
There.
Thanks.
That's my number in there.
And I saved it under the name Ola.
Ola.
Can I get a selfie?
Oh, sure.
I've been an omni forever, you know.
Oh, sweetheart.
Come on, let's get in.
Where's Montaser?
There he is.
OK, we're in.
Take these.
You can use them to clean your heels.
She's really nice, and she's really pretty.
She's very pretty.
Since when do you care about looks so much?
How come I never heard of her before?
I mean, hey, wait a second, guys.
She's doing the live thing.
She just went live now.
I want to watch.
What do you want?
What do I do?
Do I tap here?
Tap here.
Hi, Omnys.
How are you?
I can't wait to show you guys what I bought today for the Christmas party.
Hey, she's gonna talk about us.
She's gonna talk about us.
Get back here.
Come on.
I bought these products here, and I met the truly inspirational Ola, the founder of Second Chance.
Hey, what is it?
Nothing.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, guys.
We're okay.
And they say that women don't know how to drive, huh?
Everyone, meet my boyfriend, Hisham.
Say hi, at least.
Hi.
I'm sorry, guys, but H can be a bit shy sometimes.
Anyways, if any of you have tried their product, let me know what you think.
I bet you knew about this, and you haven't said a word.
Typical boys covering for each other.
I had no idea.
I saw her with him at practice, and he said she's a friend.
Friend?
Are all boys your age like this, or is it just you?
I'm confused.
I'm going upstairs.
Seriously, I can't believe it.
What on earth is going on?
Yes, OK.
I'm coming.
Hi, Hisham.
Hi.
Sweetheart, I'm so sorry about this.
This was not the way I wanted you to find out.
I was planning to tell you myself.
And when exactly did you meet her, Hisham?
And how?
She's a kid!
And where do you even know her from?
I had a feeling that you were seeing another woman while we were still married!
Stop it!
Didn't I say it?
Don't let your imagination run wild.
I actually met her after the divorce.
We met when I gave her an interview about psychology in Egypt for her channel.
Her channel, right.
Besides, sweetie, you can't expect me to spend the rest of my life alone.
But I had to make sure it was serious before telling you about it.
I can't introduce you to every single woman I go out with.
That's not, that's not how it works.
Of course not.
Just imagine if I was the one standing in front of my mother and daughter saying these things.
They would cut me into pieces and feed me to the dogs, as an example to other women.
And I'm not okay with any of this.
She'll come around.
I'm gonna convince her.
Besides, Amne is a beautiful woman and a superstar.
Honestly, good for you.
I heard you, you little traitor.
I'm so sorry, Ola.
I swore I had no way of predicting this.
You know, you're literally a textbook example of a man going through a midlife crisis.
But please give her a chance.
She's a really good person, and she has nothing to do with what happened between the two of us.
Good night, He Xiang.
Come on, Ola, what did you expect the man to do?
Spend his whole life crying?
Of course he's going to fool around, honey.
It makes sense.
The girl is young and pretty.
I can't stand her, but clearly this is the truth.
Drop it, Miss Serene.
Just drop it.
Instead of telling you to drop it, why don't you just do something about it?
Move on.
Move on, my dear.
Move on?
Yeah, as if it was that easy.
And where exactly am I supposed to find a man when my life is only about work and kids?
Right here.
What do you mean here?
The supermarket?
Yep.
Wow.
Do they sell men now?
Very funny.
Of course not.
But if we think strategically, we can guess that a married man is not going to be here.
Because he'll be watching TV at home while his wife runs around doing all the grocery shopping.
And someone who's engaged or has a girlfriend will be walking around with her like two lovebirds.
So we just need to track the guys who are single, focus, and aim.
What about this one?
Small basket, hair gel.
So he's well-groomed, and that's good.
I mean, no one likes a caveman.
Let's see what else he's going to get.
Pets.
Oh, no.
Run, run, run.
I guess his poor wife must be in so much pain she can't go out to do any shopping.
He's looking at me.
You're crazy.
OK, let's see.
What about that one?
That one?
Sure.
He's cute.
Yeah, and judging from his basket, he looks single too.
Yeah, you're getting the hang of it.
Good girl.
OK, so what am I supposed to do now?
Hook up.
Hook up with him?
Go, hurry.
I can help you, by the way, if you need help.
I mean, if you can't decide, because you don't have kids and you're not married, obviously.
What gave you the impression that I'm not married?
Your basket.
I mean, I figured it out from the things that you...
You two are trying to steal my wallet, right?
Not at all.
Yes, you want to steal my wallet.
No, I was just trying to hook up.
Don't get the wrong idea.
What wallet?
What happened?
See?
What's going on?
Ola?
Oh, God.
Go, go, go.
Let's run.
What the hell is going on?
Is that you, Ola?
That's Marwan, Zaina's father.
Oh, hey, shut up.
Come on, let's go.
He's just what we're looking for.
Ola!
No way, he's so boring.
Let me have him, then.
You'll see.
Talk to him.
Come on.
Oh, Marwan.
What a pleasant surprise.
How have you been?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm great.
Thanks.
Good.
All good.
Congrats.
Zayna's been showing me how well your brand is doing.
That's awesome.
That's sweet of you.
Thank you.
And I also wanted to thank you for getting Zayna involved.
No need to thank me.
Zayna is actually the most important person in the whole project.
Ah, I wanted to introduce you to my friend Nasreen Shafiq.
She's the co-owner of Second Chance.
Ah, nice to meet you.
Hi.
So what kind of doctor are you?
I'm a cardiologist.
Damn, what are the odds?
Meaning?
Please excuse me for being kind of blunt about what I'm going to ask.
But I know from Ola that Zeyna's mother is in a much better place now.
May she rest in peace, so... But why are you still wearing your wedding ring?
Miss Zeyn?
What?
I'm really sorry.
She just doesn't think before speaking sometimes.
She's an idiot.
I apologize on her behalf.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
I really respect honesty.
And that's why I'll tell you.
I wear my ring so that the ladies looking for men in the supermarket will leave me alone.
Congratulations again.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Thanks, Marwan.
Bye, see you later.
What?
Hi, Ola.
I've been thinking about what's happened, and I believe that if you try to accept Amnaya, the kids are going to accept her too.
How about we go for lunch, just the three of us, so that you can get to know her first?
Uh, having lunch, sure.
Why not?
Sure, let's all go out to lunch, to get to know each other.
Yeah, but let's set an early time because I imagine your little Cinderella will have to be at school early in the morning.
We don't want her to be late for class.
Okay, bye-bye.
Actually, it was Nisreen's idea.
She was...
She … You've disgraced me.
How could you use my picture without my permission?
I'm not even wearing a veil.
What do I tell your brother in Dubai?
What do I tell your Aunt Shukriya?
Mom, relax.
Just tell her that you're a beautiful woman who respects her age and doesn't want to neglect her appearance.
What's so disgraceful about that?
Is that what you mean?
Yes.
Is that what you mean by second chance?
Tell me, Ola.
Do you actually want people to say that I'm clinging to my youth?
Well, just go ahead.
Why don't you stick my picture on a jar of gummy bears while you're at it?
Actually, that's a great idea.
What do you think?
Mother, listen to me.
In Western countries, women your age are just starting their lives.
I'm telling you, they're getting married, falling in love.
Some of them are getting pregnant.
Yes?
What makes you think you can't even use an anti-wrinkle cream?
Are you expired or something?
No, Mom.
You're fresh, fresh, as fresh as this yogurt here.
Anyway, if you don't like the picture, we can take it down.
Take it down, Zayna, right away.
I was gonna give you a percentage of the sales profit.
I mean, it's your ride after all.
No, no, wait.
Ola, wait, wait.
Why are you being so hasty?
It's just a conversation.
Wait, don't take it down, Zayna.
That's more like it.
What were you saying?
Gorgeous.
All right, all right.
I'll save it for the bloopers.
This is Hesham, you guys.
Elise, let's take a photo together.
No, no, no.
Forget it.
I'm fine, really.
Sorry, guys.
It's just that H likes his privacy too much.
Sorry, guys.
H likes his privacy too much.
Where's the emoji for contempt?
Why don't they make one?
Hey, shut up.
No, no, I can't have both of you go crazy at once.
What do you mean?
You mean that?
No, that was Christine.
She just sent me this funny video as a joke.
Come on, are you crazy?
Mommy?
Yes?
Are you mad at me because I didn't tell you I saw Nea with Daddy?
No, sweetie, I'm not mad at you at all.
You did nothing wrong.
And by the way, Daddy hasn't done anything wrong.
Oh no, nothing at all.
Except that he replaced you with someone who's just a few years older than me.
Replaced me?
Sure.
Well, it's his right.
He has the right to fall in love and remarry and everything, whether we like it or not.
Are you ready for the bombshell?
This is going to be fun.
And it's my right to do the same.
Not you, Mom!
Here, ma'am.
Welcome, welcome.
Come on.
How are you, son?
I'm fine, thank you.
So this is the place.
This is it.
God bless.
Come on in.
Follow me.
Nice location.
Not bad.
Come on in.
Step in with your right foot first.
God bless.
Come on in.
Didn't I tell you?
Bright, spacious.
It has good vibes.
Nice.
This is beautiful.
Good job, Saleh.
It's perfect.
Yeah?
Nice.
And the entrance is big and accessible.
But I do think it's a bit expensive.
Stop being so cheap, will you?
You can wear a cheap perfume because it's your own hygiene after all.
But you can't be cheap about this.
This is our livelihood.
This is where our clientele will be.
Our what?
Clientele.
Where did you learn French anyway?
In Zifta?
Hey, come here.
What happened?
Did you ever talk to your ex, the sugar daddy?
Did you have to remind me?
He wants me and Omnia to get to know each other, so he's planning for the three of us to have lunch.
Yep.
But I'm not going alone, you're coming with me.
If he ends up marrying that girl, I won't be able to handle it on my own.
What do you care anyway?
So what if he marries that girl?
I don't get it.
Why on earth should we go have lunch with him?
Ola, don't even think about getting married just to make him jealous.
Trust me, it's not a good idea.
As if eligible bachelors are begging at my feet!
I'm a 40-year-old divorcee with two kids, for God's sakes.
Two kids, two kids, not just one.
In other words, I'm a good old second-hand package.
Who would want me anyway?
No one.
I'm going to die alone.
What the hell?
Yes, like Suad.
Who's Suad?
Suad, she's our neighbor.
She was... She used to throw stones at us and break all our car windshields.
Loneliness drove her mad.
No, no, I don't feel good about this app thing.
I don't want to use a dating app or anything like that.
It's not my thing.
How did you guys even talk me into this?
No, no.
Look.
Look at these pictures.
They all look like perverts.
You mean like your friend?
I found her on the app yesterday.
And where do you think I found you on Wikipedia?
You were on the app too, weren't you?
Hey, wait a minute.
You guys found each other on this thing?
And you matched?
Clearly it doesn't work.
Why waste my time?
And why are there so many empty fields?
How am I going to fill all that?
Yes, you can just write here.
What do I write?
What are your interests?
Okay, just write here, in this field here.
Write that you enjoy working.
Men like successful women.
Hell no!
All you need is a hot profile picture.
And whatever you put in there, keep it vague.
Mysterieux.
Okay, so what am I supposed to write?
You're going to write that you're a divorced woman, a breadwinner.
that you haven't thought about an answer for this question in 10 years.
And that now, the time has come for you to enjoy every moment of being single.
Cool.
And I need your ID, by the way.
Wait a second.
Do they need your ID for this thing?
I've skimmed five years off my real age.
No, honey.
I need it for the store's lease contract.
Oh, OK.
And yours too, cheap cologne.
Actually, I never give my ID to anyone.
Okay?
I can't help you.
What am I supposed to do?
It's our work.
That's fine, okay?
You can always be a silent partner.
What?
Just do it.
Okay, I'll give it to Ola.
You take it.
I don't want him to see it.
I'll give it to Ola.
Sure.
What do you mean you'll give it to Ola?
No, stop it.
I said I don't want to.
Don't be shy.
We all look bad in our ID photo.
Oh, that's not going to work.
Ola, you take it.
I said I'll give it to Ola.
Hey, are you crazy?
I said I'll give it to Ola.
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Just take it easy, will you?
This is not even yours.
It's a man's idea.
His name's Riddha.
Seriously?
But the photo is yours.
Your name is Riddha?
Stop it!
Your name is really Riddha?
Yes, her name is Riddha.
But it's a nice name.
Yeah, it's cute.
So why did they name you Riddha?
Was it a family vow or was it that your dad really wanted a boy?
In fact, it was the name of her grandfather.
May he rest in peace.
Ola!
It's perfectly normal.
I've always liked your name anyway.
Cut it out!
You could say that my life revolves around cleanliness.
Some people think of it as an obsession.
These people are obviously idiots.
Do you know why all these diseases even exist?
Why?
Because of poor hygiene.
Of course, me too.
I'm literally the cleanest person you'll ever meet.
Uh, well, uh, regarding tonight, I mean, for me, this is actually the first time I ever used a dating app like this one, so I really don't know what people usually want to get out of it.
I mean, you, for instance, what are your intentions on this date?
My intentions?
The one I'd stand.
Doesn't get much cleaner than that.
You see, the thing is, real men don't exist anymore.
But luckily, chivalry runs in my veins.
You'll see, I was taught that no woman should ever have to pay for anything.
Do you have 200 pounds?
By the way, I think you need to be a bit more careful over the next few years.
Because I can tell that you have pear-shaped genes in your family.
Precisely.
And honestly, I'm really not into heavy girls.
By the way, you think you're going to finish all that?
I can just take the whole plate so that it doesn't go to waste.
Anyway, I'm not really into these applications and whatnot.
My buddy kept pressuring me to go on the application.
I just tried it.
I don't want to waste your time, though.
I'm married anyway, and I'm against polygamy, you know?
Listen to me.
So basically, I will grow fat in a pear shape.
I don't like to pay the bill.
And if you're only looking for a one-night stand, then you should know that I snore.
Yusuf.
Enough.
Enough, for God's sakes.
Enough.
Let me sleep.
I can tell you've been through a lot.
Anyway, I'm Yusuf Ahmed Abderrahim.
I own a travel agency.
Maybe you've heard of it.
It's called The Weekend Trip.
I've been divorced for two years.
I often travel outside of Egypt, but I like to get to know new people from time to time.
I have a feeling that you and I are looking for the same thing.
Do you think that I might be right?
I don't know, guys.
Do you think he might be right?
This is the last chance.
It's the last chance.
Please.
Is it good?
It looks great.
Now smile.
Greet them with a smile.
I'm furious.
Same here.
What a smug asshole.
I really feel sorry for that girl.
You should feel sorry for me, not her.
I do feel sorry for you.
Have suits?
Sure, suits fine.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Hi, I'm Nea.
How are you?
How's everything?
Hi, Hisham.
All good?
Hi, Ola.
You remember my friend Nasreen, of course.
Of course.
What a nice surprise.
Your surprises are way better, Hisho.
I really miss seeing your face.
Same here.
First of all, I'm truly very sorry.
Because when I met you at the bazaar, I really had no idea.
And I've been beating myself up over and over again ever since.
You can even ask Hisham.
Oh, it's really not a big deal, honey.
It happens.
We'll just pretend that this is the first time we've ever met, OK?
OK.
Give me that!
Give it!
Okay!
See?
Please, sit down.
Thank you.
Sit down, Lulu.
There's one thing that I haven't forgotten and I won't.
Because I really admire your success story, and I still want to do an interview.
For real.
You just set a time that works, and let's do it.
Can't you at least let me hate her, so I can follow all the other divorced women's lead?
Sure.
Thank you.
Humnaya seems cool, Hisham.
Have you told her to cut ties with her best friends yet?
Or is this something the young generation doesn't fall for?
I don't know.
I just wanted us to have this meeting so that we could talk in a more civilized way.
Yes, of course.
Civil.
Also, for the sake of Nadia and Salim... Wow, look at that.
She's got Salim's name right, too.
Wow.
Good.
Actually, it's a tricky situation.
For them.
I mean, the situation is difficult for them to accept, especially Nadia.
You understand, of course.
I'm sure you know why she's angry.
I mean, excuse me, but the age difference between you and Nadia, is it like 10 years?
Not even 10 years, I think.
The difference is like 8 years maximum, I guess, right?
Yeah, around that much.
Anyway, I feel like you want to ask me for something.
Would you like me to, maybe, help?
Telling them you're planning to get married?
I'm sorry, but wait a second.
I don't think either of us is thinking about marriage right now.
Oh?
Hisham knows very well that I'm not in a rush to get married.
And maybe, maybe that's what he likes about me.
She doesn't even give a damn.
Look, Ola.
All I'm asking here is that you give me a chance.
I have to admit, I didn't want to come today either.
You have no idea how it feels for me to come and see the woman who used to be his wife, who knows everything about him.
But please, try to put yourself in my shoes here.
I mean, it's surely not easy for me to start my life with someone who's got this kind of baggage.
Yet still I'm here, and I'm willing to put in the effort to make all of this work out.
And maybe you need to make this effort too, for your children at least.
Help your kids accept the fact that their father has a new life.
Whether it's with me or with someone else.
And if you just think about it, you'll realize that I'm not your enemy.
Hardly.
You and I have much more in common.
Much more than you think.
The worst part is that I like her.
No, not just for the interview.
Ready to order?
No, thanks.
Later.
See, I'm not hungry and Ola has a date, so we should go, right?
A date?
Yes, a date.
Didn't you tell him?
Are you kidding?
Yes.
A date.
It's sedate.
And no, I didn't tell him because, well, it's none of his business.
What do you mean it's none of my business?
That's nonsense.
It's not nonsense.
What's the matter, Hisham?
She's right.
She respected our personal life, and we have to respect hers.
Yeah.
Tell him, Amnaya.
Please.
Bravo.
And by the way, Mom and the kids don't know about it yet.
So let's not make it any worse.
We've got enough on our plates.
One case at a time.
I'm sure you get it.
And Yusuf, by the way, is a very decent and sweet individual.
Yusuf, huh?
Yes, he's so cool.
Yusuf.
I'm sure that when you... when you meet him, you'll actually like him a lot.
Okay, next time, we'll have a double date.
Well, let's not get carried away.
Forgive him.
This is just a generational difference.
We're not that open-minded yet.
Speaking of which, Hisham has only graduated high school yet?
Okay, shall we?
Let's do this again sometime.
Let's get together.
Maybe we'll even manage to get through lunch.
Okay.
See you.
Bye-bye.
Study hard.
Stop it.
Bye.
Bye, Ola.
Bye.
Who are you?
What have you done with my friend Ola?
Actually, say it like this.
The new you is way cooler.
Will, that felt so amazing.
Where did he even get that courage from?
I can't believe it.
A date?
Good girl.
Let's just hope this Yusuf guy is worth it.
He will be.
I'm proud of you.
He better be.
I'm so proud of you.
He stood you up.
How childish.
Ah, sorry, I was just... I mean, I was just making sure.
Yusuf?
Hi.
Well, the last woman I met on the app, she was really something.
The first thing she said was, she told me, would you have a problem if you had a date a married woman?
No.
Can you imagine?
Well, I guess I haven't really seen much after what I'm hearing.
What is it with people, huh?
Well, you're a hero for surviving it, though.
As a woman.
Can I ask you a question?
I already know.
What?
After all those stories, how can you still think you're going to find someone, someone decent, someone normal, someone sane, through dating apps?
Keep going.
First of all, I travel a lot because of my job, and since I'm on the road all the time, I know that my only chance at meeting someone is through a dating app.
Second, my feeling that I will end up finding what I'm looking for
Just got stronger.
Unless you turn out to be a psycho who killed her husband and needs to be put on a leash.
Sorry.
How did you know?
Should I tell him that I don't want to die alone like Zohar?
Or maybe not yet.
Not yet, right?
Now, tell me about your work.
Seriously, you want to hear?
Excuse me, but are there men who listen?
I will.
Really, it's just that I'm impressed.
I really am.
It's good to know.
It's a small business, quite small, but I've dreamt about it for a very long time, and I couldn't find a better time to... Now, wait a minute.
This is a trap.
Pardon?
It's a trap.
I've heard these questions before.
I don't understand.
I mean, you're one of those guys who don't want their partner to have a career and who think that women should stay in the kitchen all day.
I mean, where's the catch?
I'm sorry, there must be a catch.
Why must there be a catch?
Actually, I never saw myself with a woman who doesn't have a career or any other goals for herself, because then she'd have a lot of free time.
And since I work and travel constantly, all her questions and conversations would revolve around, what are you doing?
Why are you so late tonight?
Where are you traveling again?
Who's that woman you're talking to?
Which would lead to arguments, and I'm honestly really bad at all that.
Besides, I'm like... My mother was... She was a working woman all her life, and maybe that's what helped her win one day.
My father was gone.
Oh.
My mother made sure I never missed out on any.
She was a very strong woman.
Rest in peace.
That's it.
Hello?
Second chance?
That's right.
It just exploded all over the internet.
Yes.
The kids have been telling me all about the comments.
What do I know?
I'll call you back.
Bye, Susu.
What's going on?
Hey, what's going on?
Where have you been?
On another planet or something?
Grandma's picture for the anti-aging serum.
It went viral.
Viral?
What's that?
A trend.
I've become a trend.
They're saying I'm the new Nefertiti.
Do I look like her?
What?
You struck gold.
The orders haven't stopped coming in.
Guys, I'm so good at PR.
I made you famous, Susu.
From now on, I'm your agent.
Whatever money you make, I'll get 30%.
Sure, my dear, we'll pixelate.
Well, Grandma, you owe her.
Shut up.
So you don't want me to take down the picture anymore?
What do you mean, take it down?
We should post something telling people she's your mother.
People like this whole family vibe.
Okay, fine.
Come on, get your phone.
You mean right now?
Why not?
Is it this one here?
Yeah.
Okay.
Are you all ready?
Wait, wait.
Come on, Mom.
Yes, yes, I'm coming.
Hi, everyone!
How are you doing?
To all of you who are asking about our anti-aging collection star, let me tell you that she's actually my mother!
So here!
Nefertiti lives!
Who's calling me now?
Who is it?
It's Omnia.
What does she want?
Hello?
Hi, Ola.
It's me, Amnaya.
Hi, Amnaya.
Hey, how are you doing?
I just saw your mother's picture on Instagram, and I thought she could join you, so we'd have her on the interview as well.
Have her in our interview?
Let me think about it, okay?
I'll think about it, and I'll let you know soon.
You see, my mother is in very high demand these days, so I'm not sure if she's available.
Let me just check her schedule, and I'll get right back to you.
I'll call you, I'll call you.
Okay, take your time.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
What happened to your ideals, Mom?
My what?
My ideals?
Look around, sweetie.
Do you really see any ideals in this house?
Everyone's looking after their own interests, so why shouldn't I?
Don't be a fool like your mom.
Besides, all I even said was I'd think about it.
My mom is not a fool.
I'm the one who pushed you to start all of this.
Why even let her interview you?
For a bunch of followers?
I don't recognize you anymore.
Who are you?
What's next?
You'll get married and move on with your life?
OK, enough.
Can we please get back to talking about me now?
So what I want is 30% of what you will be earning from my line.
Your line?
Sure.
Well, it's her face on the box, isn't it?
So it's hers.
Yes, Zana, you're right.
So whatever Zana says, you just agree with her now?
No way.
20%.
OK.
That's right.
Nowhere you belong.
You're bandits.
Ideals.
Hey there, good morning.
Good morning.
You... weren't you supposed to be away until tomorrow?
And how did you know where the store was or that I'd even be here?
You remind me of myself when I started my company.
I'd go to the main building to sleep there.
This is for you.
Thanks.
Is it hot?
That's too much.
I guess that you're just like me.
You like to do everything yourself.
Ah, right.
Glad to have you back.
And here.
For me?
Thank you.
Hope you like it.
You're too much.
I always loved ribbons.
Hey.
Limited edition.
Too expensive.
Thank you.
Wow.
Could you, uh...
You think right now?
Yes, please.
But I'm already wearing another perfume, and I don't think the two will mix well.
Come on, why not?
Lovely.
Are you going to show me around?
Yes, right.
I'll show you around.
OK.
Well, this is the place, as you can see.
Here we have body care, everything related to shower gels and things used for baths or bathing.
And here I have all the hair products, things you use for hair care.
like hair masks and stuff like that.
And here is the skin care section.
And naturally, this is the most important spot, the cashier, where all the money is.
This is where Montaser is going to sit.
Of course.
Yeah, because he handles the finances.
This is our logo.
And this is my favorite spot, the kitchen.
This is where I create all my blends and my new products.
And everything I could need for that is stored right here.
But wait, what are these doing here?
They shouldn't be here.
What?
Nothing, I just wanted to smell the perfume on you.
Can't you smell it from there?
No, I can't.
May I come closer?
Okay.
Stop being so rude!
Oh!
Hi there, guys.
Good morning.
Hey, you.
You must be Montaser and you must be Nisreen.
Paula's been telling me so much about you.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Bois de Sens.
Where?
Here.
It's here.
I'm wearing it.
Really?
Yeah.
It was a present from Youssef.
Oh.
OK.
I gotta run.
It's getting late.
I should go back to work.
Yes, of course.
OK.
Congratulations again.
OK.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
You know, Ola, I'm so very proud of you.
Honestly, I'm proud of myself as well.
Really, I'll say it.
I'm not ashamed.
I've earned it.
And I know that we haven't known each other for long, but I feel as if... Over here?
I feel as if... Sure, honey.
Sure, come on.
I feel comfortable in a way that I've never felt before.
And actually, for the first time ever, I came to find
Someone like me.
Someone like me who likes ice cream in the winter.
Right?
See?
We're a rare breed.
They must be fate.
It's definitely fate.
You see this gray hair sitting on my head in front of you?
It taught me that when I find something special, I should never let it go.
I know that I might shock you right now, because I'm a little shocked myself.
No, no, no.
Don't freak out.
This is not an engagement ring.
You can calm down.
Calm down, please.
This ring here is in my family for four generations.
It never got outside of it.
Wow.
First, it belonged to my great-grandmother.
Rest in peace.
When nationalization happened, she didn't care about losing any of her belongings except for this ring.
So she took it, and she hid it.
Where?
Hm?
Where?
Where did she hide it?
Um... Well, I don't really need to tell you all the details right now, but anyway... One day, I decided to save every penny I made in order to track down this ring, and when I found it...
I bought it back for five times its original price.
Five times its price?
But then, of course, I had to give it back to my mother.
Rest in peace.
She gave it to me before she died.
She said, Yusuf, give this ring only to a woman who proves she's worthy of it.
You'll know the minute you look into her eyes.
May I?
Okay, I'm not going to wear it on this finger, though, because this finger is for an engagement ring, and we said... Okay.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful, but seriously, I mean, given its history, it's priceless.
Exactly like you.
Exactly.
I want to be part of your life, Ola.
Can I?
I told you the sandals are better.
Mommy, is daddy going to be there?
I'm not really sure, Dudu.
I didn't ask her.
You didn't?
No, I didn't.
I don't care.
Has everyone in this house gone crazy?
My mom, the entrepreneur, and my model grandmother are having an interview with my dad's girlfriend, the influencer.
Don't you guys find that weird at all?
Don't you think that's weird?
Are Salim and I the only sane people around here?
Hey, what's up with her?
I don't know.
She's always like that lately.
So hormonal.
She's starting to get on my nerves.
Plus, I'm swamped with work, and Grandma Sohair is a handful.
How come she doesn't get that?
Forget about that.
I have a more important question.
Which filter's better?
This suits my complexion the most, but the one with the stars will probably get more likes.
What do you think, Bola?
Well, if the one with the stars is getting more likes, then the choice is clear.
Okay.
Look how skinny she is.
Yuck.
It's true.
Sometimes you need a favor from a fool.
Mom.
What?
Mommy dear, do you see this thing here?
Yeah.
That's a microphone.
And you see that thing he has on his head?
Headphones.
So?
He heard.
Ah, finally, I get to meet Nefertiti.
Hisham adores you, Grandma, really, and he always tells me your cooking's amazing.
Thank you, my dear.
But first of all, don't call me Grandma.
You see, that wouldn't look good on the internet.
Noted.
Second, Hisham is like a dear son to me, and he'll always be, no matter what happens.
Of course, of course.
So, have you met Nazli yet?
Not yet.
I mean, I've been hearing a lot about her, but we still haven't met.
Oh.
Well, hearing about someone is one thing, but meeting them is a whole other story.
Okay, are you two ready?
Sure, yes, let's begin.
Okay, recording.
In three, two, one.
Hi, Omnies!
How are you doing?
Today, I'm so happy because I have with me the two women behind a brand that's created tremendous online buzz.
Drum roll, please.
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum!
The local, organic, newest cosmetics brand in town, Second Chance!
I'm with Ola Abdul-Sabur and her mother, Sahar, who actually poses as the face of the brand.
How are you doing?
How are you, Omnia?
Hi!
Hi.
Omni is... Okay, let me start with you, Ola.
Your viewers know all that you created this brand as an older woman.
Sorry, a mature woman.
A mature woman.
It's okay.
You can say it.
It's fine.
Why did you create this brand?
Do you feel that life perhaps gave to you a second chance?
Look, life always gives, generally speaking.
I mean, we've all had our disappointments.
But anyway, I guess those second chances come to people who deserve them for working hard and struggling, but they were let down the first time.
But isn't it possible that your first chance wasn't yours to begin with?
Or maybe you just let it slip out of your hands?
No, that chance was lost from the start.
Okay, um, next question's for Sahar.
It's new for most of us to see someone your age representing a skincare brand.
Did you have any fears, any concerns?
No, no, no, not at all.
You see, I personally believe that even a woman my age has the fundamental right to take care of her appearance.
Why not care about beauty?
It's our right to do so.
As I'm sure you know, that women in most European countries start their lives at my age or even older.
I mean, we're not expired.
On the contrary.
And I'd like to take this opportunity to say to all women, you have to try our products.
They're 100% natural.
Try using them.
You won't regret it, I'm telling you.
Who is this person?
But we live in a cruel society, don't we?
Weren't you worried about people thinking you're, please forgive me for saying this, clinging to your youth as an example?
Oh, well, you're actually right, Amnaya.
Our society is cruel indeed.
I mean, why would they say an older woman who just wants to take care of herself is clinging to her youth, knowing that at the same time there's some older man who could be dating a girl half his age, but no one says he's clinging to his youth?
So, why is that?
I wonder what are your thoughts, Amnaya?
What do you mean, Ola?
I mean, I'm just saying that... She means that our products are original, completely natural, and chemical-free, therefore suitable for all age groups, and also Ola's a pharmacist, which means that her blends are 100% tried and tested.
Well, that's a true claim.
I tried the products and noticed a facial glow from the very first use.
Well, you're a natural beauty, Omnia.
I mean it.
Thank you.
On that note, I'd like you to meet the Second Chance family.
My family.
My partner is because these guys are truly my second chance.
As for your question, why did I create Second Chance, because that's actually an important question.
Well, it was a dream.
It was a dream that I delayed, but I decided to pursue it to give my daughter a very important message.
I wanted to tell her not to give up on her dreams for anyone or anything under any circumstances.
Maybe I did pursue my dream after I grew older or after I matured.
It took me that long to remember.
But please, don't, all of you, don't give up on your dreams for anything, anything or anyone.
You too, Omnia.
Don't give up on anything for him, for any, anyone.
Thank you.
And thank you, Sahar.
And thank you, Montaser.
Well, Omnies, thank you for tuning in.
And I'll see you next time.
Stay safe and stay tuned.
Mwah.
Bye.
Thank you, Ola.
Thank you.
Thank you, Amnaya.
Wonderful.
Thank you so much, Grandma.
Have a nice day.
Bye.
Good luck.
OK.
Bye.
Bye, Amnaya.
Don't forget to mention me.
Sure.
I'll call you, OK?
Sure.
Thank you.
I mean this, and not just because you're my own daughter.
But she doesn't even compare to you.
You're 100 times prettier than she is.
His sham must be blind.
Mommy.
Yes, my baby.
After that sweet, sweet face you pulled off for the camera, how can I believe a word you say, honey?
Hey, Yusuf.
How have you been?
I'm sorry I... What?
But are you okay?
What happened?
A surgery?
What kind?
But I mean, when, when did all that happen?
Why didn't you tell me?
Okay, okay, okay, I'm listening, I'm listening.
Oh, I have it.
Of course, yeah, sure.
So wait, are you sure you don't have any cash?
I mean, what about your grandma's will?
And your mother, rest in peace, because they never wanted the ring to leave the family.
Fine, if you need the cash, then you need the cash.
That's fine.
No, of course I'm not mad.
How could I be?
What matters now is that you pay for those bills.
Okay, fine.
I'll just make the transfer.
Okay.
I hope you'll feel better soon.
Keep me posted, please.
Get better soon.
What's that about?
What's this ring that... that he's asking you to sell?
Did he say that he's at the hospital and he needs you to sell the ring and send him the cash?
Really?
Move, please.
What?
Unlock your phone for me.
Do you have a picture?
Yes, I do.
Okay, let me see it.
Hurry!
Okay, wait, give me a second.
There.
Let's see.
What?
Do you know him?
Do I know him?
I was this close to finding out where his grandmother was hiding the ring for 40 years, after the government seized all their property from them.
I didn't ask you if you know him, Ola.
So?
This is a group on Facebook, a page.
You upload his picture.
Yeah?
Wait a sec.
So what's his name?
Yusuf what?
Yusuf Ahmed Abdelrahim.
Yusuf...
Ahmed Abdul Rahim.
Now we'll post this and wait to see what we'll end up discovering about his shady past.
You won't find anything.
We'll see.
Just be patient.
You won't find anything.
Look.
What?
You poor thing.
Run away!
What is it this time?
Money laundering or signature forgery?
Holy crap!
Idiot!
I'm an idiot!
His name is not Yusuf, it's Kameez and he's from Faisal.
Stop laughing!
Kameez?
His name is Kameez?
But let me tell you, I think the guy is just brilliant.
Damn!
Basically, he wanted you to sell that stolen ring for him and hand him the clean cash on a silver platter.
Turns out Muntasir was right about him when he said that he had no sense
Oh, my God.
and an
Yeah.
