A view from the inside of the Egyptian revolution, split into three chapters. The first people to have their say participated in the demonstrations on Tahrir Square. Ordinary people suddenly become part of history by making posters, climbing on water cannons, or attending to the wounded in improvised infirmarie. Next up, members of the much despised secret police, sometimes disguised, also give their account - with a degree of shame and a remarkable ability to put matters into perspective. And then we move on to the cause of the revolution: President Mubarak, who ruled for 30 years. The film explains in 10 steps how Mubarak gained and then maintained power.
