A young student rents a room in a Cairo boardinghouse, and is soon torn between his innocent fiancée from his village and his very seductive landlady. Famous dancer Tahiyyah Karioka plays the older woman in a powerful portrayal of the plight of a strong, sexually active woman in a community that denies her freedom. A Woman's Youth was a very radical film for the Egyptian screen of the 50s.
