Layl Al-Khaefeen (1994)

The story follows Sharif Al-Labadi (played by Bassam Kousa), a successful engineer who marries Ghada (Samar Sami). Ghada is the ex-wife of another engineer and talented novelist, Maher Taha (Jamal Soliman). Over time, Sharif develops an intense, destructive obsession with Maher. Feeling deeply inferior, he starts compulsively imitating Maher's way of thinking, lifestyle, and literary interests in an attempt to become a carbon copy of him—only to eventually discover that his idol is fraudulent.
