The intimate world of Saddam Hussein and his closest inner circle is in this gripping four-part drama that charts the rise and fall of one of the most significant political figures in recent history.

Lebanon, 1982. To keep a promise made to an old friend, Georges, an idealistic theater director, travels to Beirut for a project as utopian as it is risky: to stage the play Antigone on the front line, in order to steal a moment of peace from the raging civil war. The characters will be played by actors from different political and religious camps. Lost in a city and a conflict he knows nothing about, Georges is guided by Marwan. As fighting resumes, everything is soon called into question, and Georges, who falls in love with Imane, has to face up to the reality of war.

The series follows the romance between an aristocratic young man and a girl from a rural family, depicting several old Lebanese traditions that are born out of prejudice against women and patriarchal ideas about women's inheritance.

Sakat Al Waraq unravels a family’s buried secrets through shifting timelines, emotional confrontations, and a mysterious past incident that reshapes every bond. As hidden betrayals surface, loyalties fracture and long‑suppressed truths force each character to confront the consequences of silence, pride, and unresolved wounds that have shaped their lives for years.
