In the heart of Dar Al-Shams, a vibrant community filled with hope and despair, two inseparable friends, Wala’a, played by the talented Ahmed Malek, and Miftah, portrayed by the dynamic Taha Desouky, navigate the complexities of their environment. Their bond is forged in the shared trials of their youth, as they commit themselves to the cause of caring for the orphans in their neighborhood. Little do they know that their altruistic intentions will put them on a collision course with Majed, a formidable and tyrannical director, who exerts his power over the area with an iron fist. This dynamic sets the stage for a gripping tale of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice in the face of adversity.
The comfortable protective bubble that Wala’a and Miftah have built around their lives is shattered when they decide to challenge Majed's oppressive control over their community. Their once simple mission to shield the vulnerable orphans transforms into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as they begin to confront the very forces they sought to defy. With every bold move they make, the risk escalates, forcing them to confront not only the repercussions of their actions but also the strength of their friendship. As tensions rise and choices become increasingly critical, Wala’a and Miftah must grapple with what they are willing to sacrifice to uphold their ideals.
As Wala’a and Miftah delve deeper into their fight against injustice, they uncover layers of betrayal, grit, and resilience that challenge their understanding of right and wrong. The struggle for survival in such a merciless world tests their motivations and resolve, pushing them to the limits of their capacity for bravery and compassion. Each encounter with Majed reveals the harsh realities they must face – courage sometimes comes at a steep price. "Sons of the Sun" paints a visceral portrait of friendship under pressure, and a heart-wrenching exploration of what it means to stand up for the vulnerable when faced with overwhelming odds.
