The events take place in Sidon, where Warda falls in love with Sharif, who works as a waiter in his father’s cafe, Shushu. She tries to make him jealous by agreeing to marry Youssef, who is the same age as her father. Sharif quarrels with Youssef, and he tells Warda that he cannot marry her.

As Sharif looks for work as a sailor, Warda tells her mother, Najma, how much she cares about him. Warda confesses her love for Sharif to him after refusing to wed Youssef. He tells her how much he loves her and how his desire to move far away prevents him from being able to marry her.

Saeed surprises Sharif with an opportunity to work as a sailor, but he rejects it because of his love for Warda. When Warda learns about this, she asks the ship captain to wait for Sharif, and Sharif spends the night next to Warda.

Najma sees Sharif and Warda in her room, so she goes to Shushu and asks for Sharif and Warda to marry, and Warda helps Sharif travel.

Shushu learns of the news of his son Sharif's travel, and his psychological state worsens. Najma struggles to solve Warda's problem after Sharif left her, and Youssef still hopes to marry Warda.

Sharif sends a letter to Shushu informing him about his news and his approval of Warda’s marriage to Youssef. Warda faints after reading the letter.

When Warda discovers that she is pregnant from Sharif, Najma tries to kill her, but she changes her mind and decides to marry her to Youssef and name the child in his name without his knowledge.

Warda tells Youssef about the child and what happened between her and Sharif. Youssef marries Warda and agrees to write the child in his name. Shushu learns of the child, and he blesses Warda’s marriage to Youssef.

Warda gives birth to a boy and names him Nader. Sharif returns home and learns that the child is his. He demands that Youssef leave Warda and the child. Warda chooses to stay with Youssef, and Shushu prevents Youssef from staying in Sidon.

Twenty years pass, and Nader becomes a young man. Youssef dies after suffering from a severe illness, and Sharif and his owner, Masoud, open a car repair shop.

When Warda tells Nader the truth that Sharif is his real father, he goes to Shushu to reach his father. Shushu tells him that Sharif is in Beirut, so Nader goes to Sharif's workshop.

Nader meets Sharif, and Sharif tells him his story, but without Nader telling him that he is his son. Masoud, Sharif's friend, lies to Nader about Sharif working in the drug trade. Nader returns to Warda and tells her that he had met Sharif, and he made her promise that she would not meet him.

Masoud acquits Sharif in front of Warda and Nader, so Nader goes to Sharif and takes him to meet Shushu. Shushu forgives Sharif, and he tells Sharif that Nader blesses his marriage to Warda.
