Soft Hands (Arabic: الأيدي الناعمة, translit.al-aydi al-nā'ima) is a 1963 Egyptian comedy film directed by Mahmoud Zulfikar. It is based on a play of the same name by Egyptian playwright Tawfiq al-Hakim (1953). It features an ensemble cast that includes Sabah, Salah Zulfikar, Ahmed Mazhar, Mariam Fakhr Eddine and Laila Taher. The film was entered into the 14th Berlin International Film Festival. The film a member of the Top 100 Egyptian films list.
The plot involves a formerly landed aristocrat dispossessed by the 1952 Egyptian Revolution. The plot follows the aristocrat's struggle coming to terms with the reality of needing to work for a living, after being stripped of all landownership. He meets a similarly jobless doctorate in the Arabic language, who, like him, is not willing to accept a job below his stature. Both must adjust to the new social and political realities in a new Nasserite socialist Egypt.




Synopsis


A former prince becomes jobless after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and he goes bankrupt with only his palace remains. He meets a young man, doctor Hammouda, who has a doctorate but is unemployed. The doctor suggests to the prince that he take advantage of the palace by renting it furnished. The prince has two daughters whom he disowned because the eldest daughter married a simple engineer against the father's will, and the youngest daughter sells her paintings. The doctor agrees with them that the son-in-law, whom the prince has not seen before, along with his widowed sister and her father, rent the palace. His estrangement with his two daughters ends, and he works as a tourist guide and marries the widow, while the doctor marries the youngest daughter.
