Summary, etc | Inside the Automobile Club walls two very different worlds collide - Cairo's European elite and the Egyptian staff who wait on them. The servants, a squabbling, humorous and deeply human group, live in a perpetual state of fear under the tyrannical rule of Alku. When Abd el-Aziz's pride gets the better of him and he steps out of line, a devastating act sends ripples through his family. Soon, the Gaafars are drawn into the turbulent politics of the club - public and private - and both servants and masters are subsumed by Egypt's social upheaval. Egyptians both inside and outside of the Automobile Club will all face a stark choice: to live safely but without dignity, or to fight for their rights and risk everything |
