About film
Sometimes, an ordinary family can turn into a spy network. This is what happened to the Shaheen family from Egypt, who were recruited by the Israeli intelligence services during the Six-Day War in 1967. Soon, their family expanded their network and made their children agents too. Their normal life became like a spy novel, with an ambiguous and dark ending. However, their exposure by counterintelligence wasn't the end of their story, it was only the start of a new chapter.
