## Synopsis[edit]

A young man named Mansour bin Samoud (Hassan Youssef) returns from studies abroad in Egypt to his native Taiz, Yemen, to find his family waiting for him as well as the rule of the last Zaidi Imam. The latter figure does not like having educated young men around and tries to have Mansour executed. Mansour joins the Free Yemeni Movement that overthrows the Imam a September 26, 1962 coup with the support of Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Egyptian government that leads to the North Yemen Civil War.
