Between democracy and a military dictatorship, President Gamal Abdel Nasser, president of Egypt from 1954 to 1970, tried to forge a tailor-made brand of socialism to eradicate deep inequality. But in order to do so, he did not hesitate to repress and gag the opposition, while further crushing civil society. His sudden death rendered his socialist vision obsolete, paving the way for his successor, President Anwar Sadat.

From Nasser to Sadat and Mubarak, the series follows the path of the successive regimes in power, and reveals their common goal to carefully lay the foundation of a solid independence, but which, on the other hand, led to the revolution on Tahrir Square in 2011.
