محمد آل رشي

A close look at the modern life details of people representing different social strata, from a street vendor to a political intellectual, touching upon the story of two lovers whose life paths have faltered, as well as a crane operator who doesn't want to leave his homeland despite the circumstances.

Events of the series take place in a poor neighborhood, shedding light on the lives of its people, especially the life of an illegitimate young man who makes every effort to be helpful to others.

Tucked away in the Syrian mountains, the fictional village of Umm al-Tanafs al-Fawqa has been completely bypassed by modern technology — and its simple, warm-hearted residents have no idea what they're missing. Each episode follows their hilarious attempts to navigate life's big and small dramas with nothing but common sense, stubbornness and each other. A gentle, sharp satire that uses village innocence as a mirror for modern society's complications — described by many viewers as the greatest Arab comedy ever made.

The series revolves around the Arab Revolt that broke out in Syria against the Ottoman occupation that had ruled the country for four centuries.
