Plot summary
A didactic man who works as a veterinary named Baheeg (Ahmed Mekky) is in love with a girl named Laila (Donia Samir Ghanem), who brings her dog into his clinic from time to time. Baheeg is a very goofy guy and is unable to grasp her attention. All is going poorly until Mared, a genie who is trying to pass his "genie exams", comes along and grants Baheeg wishes to attempt to captivate the girl of his dreams. Mared transforms Baheeg into different people with different personalities and forms in order to make Leila fall in love with him. All his attempts seem to fail, but he ends up helping Mared nonetheless to graduate genie school by signing an approval document. Laila’s dog bends up becoming sick and Laila takes it to Baheeg, who is, at this point, his true self. They end up getting married. Throughout a comedic, yet anticipating story, we see how all fails when one attempts to be someone that they are not, and that receiving help from a friend can benefit one even if that was not the initial intention.
